This isn’t unique to Lemmy or haphazard coding. It’s a common technique to get pictures into Github READMEs this way. You’d create a PR, upload an image, copy the link, delete the PR, and then paste the link elsewhere on Github for use.

It was a thing in Canada a decade ago too. Luckily I’ve just about forgotten about it. That was a weird time.
