How does image uploading work on Lemmy?

the docs don't explicitly specify but you can see in the image url that they do end up on the instance you upload to

Does that cost the instance creator anything?

i mean, it depends on how they are hosting the instance, i guess. it would certainly take up storage space wherever they host the instance. you could always try to upload images somewhere else like imgur and then link it to help not take up their instance storage
