Just as a note, you can do image links on Lemmy:
givesThe image is hosted on a different site. Personally I feel like a dedicated image hosting site is more likely to be around in a year than the average Lemmy instance, so I'll probably use links over direct uploads most if the time. I already have at least one post of a direct upload that no longer has the image
The image link example in my comment specifically pulls the image from imgflip, it doesn't end up on a Lemmy instance at any point
Sorry, that was supposed to be in reply to this comment
Yeah that's my comment ๐ And as I and the other person pointed out, the image isn't on a Lemmy instance, it's coming straight from imgflip and just getting embedded in the comment
The image is still hosted on that other site, but embedded in the comment. Possibly it gets cached by the instance, but the link to the original image remains intact.
Odd syntax. What's with the brackets?
It's like a link but with an
!added to the front. Actually I think you can do alt text (ie image description for eg. screen readers) like thisEdit: yup it works
That makes sense, thanks :)
and what's the difference with direct upload ?
You mean the "upload image" button under the comment field next to the other formatting buttons? Or for posts?
i use jerboa : there is an upload buntton, so as i'm dumb, i just use this one
