Comment on Is there ever going to be a way to post images from this instance?

Lemme is not a file (image) storage engine. What makes it so lightweight and fast on smaller hardware is its generally only dealing with text. Introducing large file support will just add bloat to the service with having to store the images. Not to mention this increases things like bandwidth billing from everyone viewing the image. That’s why you should use external image hosting services that are designed to do that.

If we want lemmy more mainstream then the interface needs to handle this itself we can’t expect normies to go do this themselves.

Maybe we could gave some front-end apps doing that work for the user(posting the image into a storage site and adding its url into the post automatically)
