is there a way to directly share an image rather than a link? (lemmy.world)

In Apollo I could tap and hold a posted image and there’d be an option to share the image directly with my contacts. Here I can only share the Lemmy link.

I guess what Apollo was doing was temporarily downloading the image/video and then deleted it after being shared.

Right now I can’t copy an image through wefwef either, I have to open the link through safari to have that functionality.

With wefwef on iOS , if I tap an image to full screen it, then hold, I get options to share, copy, or save. Share gives me a link, copy gives me the image, and save saves the image.

When I paste the image, it seems like 50/50 on if it will just nicely paste the image or paste a file instead.

Dang I’m using iOS and I don’t get those options. Maybe I need to update iOS?

Dumb question but are you sure you’re trying this with the full screened image that you’ve already tapped once? You get different options in feed/post and after you’ve tapped it once to open it.

I ask because I confused myself this way until I got in the habit:)
