I was active in a lot of the picturesque ones before Lemmy clipped the ability to upload pictures without linking them from other places. That reduced my activity by a lot.
That's probably a problem with your instance rather than Lemmy itself. LW uploads the pictures directly to their own server.
Do you know if we're allowed to make accounts in other instances for uploads or if it amounts to "restriction evading" if our first instance has the restriction turned on?
As a mod, an admin asked me to make a Lemmy World account as it was discovered that, at the time, reports made by LW members are invisible to mods in lemm.ee so I hypothetically have the means, but I want to be respectful and not do something I'm not allowed to do with that, since I'm sure if it amounted to restriction evading, the origin story of the account wouldn't change that perception.
Lemmy admins will set up the Pict-rs service when they’re willing to deal with and can afford it. Images take soo much more space than text and could be illegal (think child abuse).
I imagine if admins truly wanted to disallow images via text replacement (like “Imgur” or “.jpg” become “”.
You should be fine to use ibb.co or something. Throw the URL here:
It’ll display inline :)
As far as I know the restriction isn't there because lemm.ee is against images, they just don't want to deal with hosting them (because of cost and risk). So in that case it's perfectly fine
Why make a LW account for only uploads? Imo it's better if you use other services anyway. I'm pretty sure there's a plugin or extension for your browser that maybe auto uploads them to the service or just upload them to catbox.moe
