Sorry folks but I gotta ask

When I upload an image into a topic on my discourse installation, I can’t click on the image to bring up the lightbox of of the image.

Is that an extra plugin to get, or lightbox behaviour comes baked into discourse?

Creating thumbnails is working, because after upload, the embed image link looks like this

```plaintext
![170A8281|690x460](upload://ymbIAVokPLvrmTr6ceQQ16AKUdX.jpeg)

```

the `...|690x460]` part confirms.

However, the uploaded images is way passed 4k x 4k dimension.
