Is it possible to get a link directly to an image?
i.e. just the image itself without any UI elements? Reason for the question is it would be ideal if Lemmy posts could link direct to an image rather than the site itself.

Yes, looks like you can! Thanks for that - I only ever use it on mobile, so it wasn’t obvious. Cheers.
This is how I host any images that I post to Lemmy, because I assume Pixelfed is more equipped to host images than Lemmy is. As a bonus, if you use a direct link to the image as the link in your Lemmy post, the image shows up just as if you'd uploaded it directly to the post. No clickthrough needed
