      If image embeds aren’t cached by your server they can be abused to gain IP, but that’s a hack, it’s not intended.

        You can set a Lemmy server to proxy image requests

          Exactly, that’s why I said for ones that aren’t cached. They can be cached, but it’s not a guarantee they will be.

            Proxying is a separate option from caching. I think it was added in 0.19.5

              Oh I didn’t know that, that’s good. Though I think the point still stands since it’s not a guarantee instance admins will use it (unless it’s a default).
