Uploading images with Liftoff (nom.mom)

This post was supposed to have an image. I "create post," then select an image to use, then choose "use this image" and it goes back to the post like it's attached... But when I hit post, the image isn't there.... Is this just user error?

Thanks in advance!

Here is a reply I'm making from Liftoff with an image inserted from my phone...

I don't even know what's real anymore. Was the error message (in this image) because the other pic was too big?

Also using liftoff and it seems to be fine.
Might be more related to yer instance.

When I upload text appears in the post (the markdown for the image link)

The other comment got me curious as to it being a new update but according to play store I am up to date.

So I can obviously insert into replies - same results, markdown inserted into textbox. I'll have to check in with the admin types, tho. Thanks!

I had this exact issue yesterday! Either link to Imgur or Pixelfed via the url field, or downscale the image. I recommend ImagePipe or Image Toolbox.

Regarding the question about Liftoff, please ask directly on the Liftoff community. For the question about images in general, please see the sidebar for suggestions on where to find support. Removing under rule #3.

I'd like to know how to embed an image anywhere on lemmy. Voyager doesn't give you any options for markup at all and coming from sync pro I just kind of expect the toolbar to be there with those options.

Is there a guide anywhere because unless I find a client that does make it easy I'm going to have to try and memorise some.

Liftoff will manage the upload for ye, on browser it worked by pressing the image icon or pasting it in, anything else I don't know

Useful I'll take a note but it looks like Voyager doesn't even display them. I'll give Liftoff a try.

The newest post on !liftoff@lemmy.world is saying the same

[–] mom@nom.mom 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks - I'll keep an eye on that conversation, too
