-- click on first post so that I can see the image - https://lemmy.ml/post/42503928 -- taken to a page where I still can't see the image I clicked to see -- Click on the image, now I can see it.
-- See some comments
-- now I need to click back to continue
-- see another interesting post, image to small, can't see so I have to click -- https://lemmy.ml/post/42501566
-- Still can't see image so I click on the image -- now I'm taken to https://mecha.so/comet#overview
-- WTF, why am I on a different site? Why am I here,where are the comments -- Realisze I can't distinguish between Image posts and Links to a different site. -- Why is this so confusing to browse?
Sounds like you are specifically looking for a client focused on image browsing. In that case I would suggest linking to vger.app, phtn.app or blorp which I linked in another comment. Lemmy 1.0 will also have a card view which admins can set as default, where images are already expanded.
This is only the link preview (indicated by the arrow icon), not an image post. Is the icon too small?
