You’ve done nothing wrong. Hexbear will only embed images from a short accept-list of websites (because hot-links can potentially be used for tracking, and because trolls can embed awful shit). This is a modification from the way upstream Lemmy behaves.

Possibly. I think it’s a measure taken on the hexbear side to prevent CSAM data from being uploaded to our servers from other lemmy instances in case of a malicious attack.
