The image in the thread has a crazy URL that baffles me.
So, clicking on the image brings up a window with a close box.
Now, THAT image URL is also a baffler that nobody can use.

I right clicked (control click on a mac) to "Save Image as ... " and it saved the image to my computer.
as a REAL JPEG/
From there, you can upload (sorry to say) to some image hosting site.

Programmers at FB/Meta and others are paid handsomely to make things AS COMPLEX AS POSSIBLE.

So, I would suggest saving the image and then uploading it to an image hosting site.
Some sites are so impossible to even save the image (on purpose, I think) that I'll screenshot the image and do as I mentioned above. Upload to an image host that gives a clean URL that DU and others can handle rationally.

This is all that I could come up with.

So, one image I saw. I clicked on, then right/control clicked to save to disk
448911868_1956255478166689_1840837538014992966_n.jpg
and upload and link.



Note: since FB and Threads are one, shouldn't there be some way to do this more simply?
But you'd have to ask people there or experts at them.
