Comment on Blocked by cloudflare from posting images
Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 1 year agoHad someone ask how, so I’ll drop this here too:
When you finish uploading to imgur, you’re brought to a full webpage with the image embedded in it like this:
You want to right-click on the image and select ‘open image in new tab’ which gives you this:
(if you’re on mobile first select ‘desktop site’ from the browsers options or you’ll get a low quality .webp version from the open image button. It’ll work, but many ppl hate it)
Finally format it like this to embed it in a post/comment:
(I added backslashes to the front of that to prevent it embedding the link as an image and show you the formatting instead)

For Imgur on mobile you can actually get the full quality image url by doing as you said, with one extra step:
This will provide a direct link to the full quality jpg/png rather than the low quality webp

That’s unnecessary. When viewing the page with ‘desktop site’ enabled, it already loads the full quality jpg/png. Tapping/clicking on it just expands that file to fill the screen, it doesn’t load a new file.
Webp is only used on the mobile site.
(at least that’s the results I get pre-testing just now via chrome and forefox android)
