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

Dude, I’m a gym teacher.
Are you enjoying your summer break? I have 6 more weeks. It goes so fast!
I haven’t even started yet.
how would people feel about an IPFS integration i wonder.
Woah… learn something new every day! I need to learn more about IPFS. Thanks for mentioning it.
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
It’s just middle out compression.
Oh, you’re right. I haven’t used that since I was on the team at Pied Piper!
I’m generally supportive of ipfs, love me some decentralized software.
What’s that mean?
https://ipfs.tech/ Federated file storage.
Ah, got it.
“I’m savvy with programming!!”
Sees Rust – “NO NOT LIKE THAT!!”
Guess I should start getting familiar with Rust
I hadn’t even thought that was a limitation
I don’t think it is. Loading multiple images in the body seems ideal.
It’s a pain in the ass to do them one by one.
That seems pretty minor to me for less than a dozen images, but ok
Does it seem minor to you?
Yes? An annoyance at worst
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.
Funnily I was just searching for the same functionality: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/981
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?
It’s amazing. Sounds super tight and just rips
Sweet. Was thinking of getting one myself. Is that the one with the weird push-pull knob that engages a tone circuit?
I always used imgur on Reddit. I thought that’s what everyone did.
I’ve seen a couple posts myself with multiple images imbedded in the post. No idea how they did it.
Just click on the image icon in the editor
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.
Why do you think it’s something that deserves a low priority?
The ability to add images to the message body is an acceptable substitute.
That’s subjective
