External images could be linked and displayed using:
![](external url)
Then Lemmy images could be resized which I think also shrinks the file size; hence faster display time, save internet data, and save screen space; by adding &thumbnail=
:
![](https://lemmy/. .../pictrs/image/... .webp?format=webp&thumbnail=320)
So, is it possible to do similar but for any external image? Or at least generate thumbnails of many external images? Thanks in advance.

This resizing is done by pictrs at runtime, when you request the image. Unless the external image host also uses pictrs, you can’t do this with any other host, no.
Understood, thanks. 👍
