Of course you can post an imgur link, but then I'm leaving the site.

I guess you can upload them one at a time in the body, but that's a pain in the ass.

Reddit didn't have self hosted images or video for years. I agree it would be ideal, though. The good news is you can do your part to improve lemmy all around!

If you're savvy with programming, you can open a pull request. If not, you can open an issue and flag it as a feature request.

Are you enjoying your summer break? I have 6 more weeks. It goes so fast!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I haven't even started yet.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

how would people feel about an IPFS integration i wonder.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Woahโ€ฆ learn something new every day! I need to learn more about IPFS. Thanks for mentioning it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

some of the stuff goes over my head since i don't have a lot of experience with programming, but i like the idea of it! if i recall there were protocols where you could get paid for storing some content on your computer yourself

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's just middle out compression.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Oh, you're right. I haven't used that since I was on the team at Pied Piper!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I'm generally supportive of ipfs, love me some decentralized software.

Ah, got it.

"I'm savvy with programming!!"

Sees Rust -- "NO NOT LIKE THAT!!"

Guess I should start getting familiar with Rust

The idea of an gallery feature would make for a great addition. RiF of course does this automatically to imgur gallery links and so does RES.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hadn't even thought that was a limitation

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think it is. Loading multiple images in the body seems ideal.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a pain in the ass to do them one by one.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That seems pretty minor to me for less than a dozen images, but ok

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does it seem minor to you?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yes? An annoyance at worst

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Funnily I was just searching for the same functionality: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/981

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

They'll get there. The cool thing about this system is - from what I understand - since it's not top-down, nobody has to approve people working on something.

Relative to lifespan, I would assume that would mean someone will take it upon themselves and will make it a lot sooner than if permission to even start working on a solution had to be approved via 6 months of meetings.

You can' its just not in the way you think. This will work in all bodies, they support all the same markdown. This would be where the data lives likely if the UI was updated to behave more like reddit.

Hey, how do you like that Yamaha?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's amazing. Sounds super tight and just rips

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Sweet. Was thinking of getting one myself. Is that the one with the weird push-pull knob that engages a tone circuit?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I always used imgur on Reddit. I thought that's what everyone did.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've seen a couple posts myself with multiple images imbedded in the post. No idea how they did it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Just click on the image icon in the editor

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The ability to add images to the message body is an acceptable substitute. It might be a bit less convenient in some situations, but I can understand why adding gallery functionality to Lemmy would be a low priority.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why do you think it's something that deserves a low priority?

That's subjective
