How do I post a photo in comments? New here due to Reddit ban.

On desktop, you can just paste it.

You can do markdown, so ![](https://link.to/image)

You’re asking the wrong person. Due either to my client, or my instance, I get, like, a 20% success rate on attaching images. Most of the time I get an error.

On my client, there’s a little picture icon. When I click that, it lets me select a picture and, if the wind is blowing in the right direction and the stars align, the picture is embedded. Otherwise, I upload to catbox.moe and manually embed the URL. The markdown syntax for an embedded image is:

I use Jerboa client on Android. It feels very much like the Reddit is Fun app.

There are rich text buttons at the bottom of the new post field. One is a photo icon, click that and it takes you to your photo/file browser to select a pic.

Here’s a pic I took of Earth’s bff, la Luna.

If you’re using voyager you can just copy and paste and it will handle it, usually, assuming your instance has image uploads enabled.

I know mlem just got a new update, so I can’t comment on that BUT I can say that always come back to voyager.

It’s as close to the Apollo Reddit client as there is (as far as I’m aware)

Showerthoughts

!showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Create post

A β€œShowerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as β€œcapitalism” and β€œcommunism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
