Images in post body (piefed.social)

ok, let's say I want to make an image post. I click "image" and it lets me choose a file to upload, cool.

But what if I want to also have an image in the Body of the post. (i.e. where this text here is...) I see the lil' "image" icon there, but if I click it, it just adds a link to a URL for me to fill out. I cannot choose a file to upload. Is there some way to choose a file to upload so it'll go in the Body of the post?

thanks!?!

Not yet, no.

You can upload the image somewhere and then use this markdown:

![any alt text](https://your-url-here/)

Very interesting, I'll have to explore that...

Hola, Sergio!
Pardon the late reply, but have you tried PixelFed yet as a stable, long-ish lasting image-hosting source? So far people in the FV seem to speak well of it.

I'm still using Imgur for images in the body of my posts (like a borderline dumbass), and plan to switch over soon to PixelFed.

Ooh, thanks for the tip, I'll have to look into it...
