needs an interface though
also that’s probably not how Mastodon etc do it, and it would be nice if images worked over the fed
Images in comments are tiny and awkward to expand. Please make the images display as hyperlinks so I can centre-click on them to open the image full-sized in a new tab, or do whatever else with it.

oh i’ve thought it for several!
