To discuss how to grow and manage communities / magazines on Lemmy, Mbin, Piefed and Sublinks
Resources:
From a browser image: Right-click an image and click Copy Image on the popup. In the lemmy comment editor press ctrl-V or right-click and click Paste. Lemmy uploads the image and constructs an inline link to it.
From an image file: In the Lemmy comment editor click the Upload Image button and select an image file.
The weird thing about your catbox posts is that at one point in time I was clearly able to see them. I remember those Pokémon posts you made in [email protected] and even commenting on them. But now I cannot see them.
AFAIK, pictures aren't duplicated among instances. When you upload a picture, it generates a link on your instance like https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/93df1acb-a898-46c9-bc07-d2b7467c345e.jpeg and that link is shared (copied) from instance to instance.
Edit: Thank you for jumping in!
What about LW, was it already the case in 0.19.3?
I think it has to do with the technical way comments are handled.
When comments are sent from one instance to another, only their "markdown code" is transmitted. If you include an image in your comment, that becomes a line in markdown (which is text) that looks like this:
So yes, this is not dependent on version; it's similar to how you have a <img src="..."> tag in HTML that only links to the image, instead of copying it.
Interesting, thanks

I use Lensdump - I see you can now upload video too.
Catbox is a weird one - I could see images but not video or the main page through Wi-Fi but it works on mobile signal. After getting my phone repaired it now all works. Which I can't explain.

That's wild ha ha
Lensdump looks cool, but requires an account, correct?
And a donation to create an account fyi. I’m fine w donating to good projects just letting know
I don't think I donated to get one as I wanted to test it before committing. Might have changed though.

Especially as it as just a screen replacement.

Yes, but it is handy to have as you can access all your old files in folders. You nay just want to bang an image up somewhere and share it but there are memes and gifs you may use multiple times.
