While Lemmy does not support image or video "albums" natively, you can add as many images and/or videos as you want to the post's body (within reason).

It's better to do this then create multiple posts if you have multiple images to post. Simply upload the main one as the URL and the rest in the body.

Edit (thanks to @ppptan): When doing this, it may be better to do [![][1]][1], then later in the post do [1]: {image url}, replacing 1 with different numbers for each image, in accordance with this. Additionally it can be nice to include spacing between each image to keep it neat and tidy! Posting the images in this way also allows a user to more easily open the image to view it fully.

ExampleAdding this to the body of your post (as an example):

would give you something like this (You can left click them 🤯):

Kinda unrelated question: How do I post GIFs?

Everytime I try it says it uploaded and is in the archive but doesn't actually show up in the post. Thanks!

    Those are actually not GIF files, they are *.webp files. I'm not sure if GIF format is supported, honestly.

    I hope gif isn't supported. It was never intended for video and is absolutely terrible for that use.

    You can convert most GIF files to webp, which lemmy can use, and those are MUCH more efficient in terms of quality for the space used. But for some reason if you try to upload a GIF to lemmy it turns it into an MP4 file, instead. It's generally much better to convert to webp first, or better yet create in that format to begin with.
