I’m using Thunder for an app. Does lemmy allow only links or can I actually upload directly? If upload is allowed, how?

    Lemmy lets you upload images, directly to lemmy.ml in your case.

    Front-ends like Alexandrite (that I’m currently using) haven’t integrated it yet - it only gives you the choice of URL, Its may be the same with Thunder - there’s an active Community here

        You can also update Thunder, latest version should have image uploading for posts, but not comments yet.

        More improvements are in progress for posting and commenting.

    I am also curious. Especially whether there’s some Lemmy-specific feature, or if it’s just up to the way you connect, and some apps are integrating with an image service directly.

    It varies by instance. Lemmy.ee has a low cap on image upload size because it’s a small instance, but I think lemmy.world allows uploads of a larger size.

    You can also use another image hosting site like imgur or pixelfed and link from those in the URL section of your post.

    This is more of a support question, related to using Lemmy. Please see the sidebar for a list of communities that offer support. Removing under rule #3.
