Hi!
We all try to make the lemmy fediverse active by posting interesting content! It’s currently painful to share a picture I just took. I would love to share it easily.
Currently :
- I take a picture
- I select “share…” in the iOS menu
- I send it to myself as an email to resize it (otherwise it will be rejected because it’s too heavy)
- I save the picture in my photos
- I launch a lemmy app
- I go to the right community
- I create a new post
- I browse the photo library to get the picture
What I would love :
- I take a picture
- I select “share…” in the iOS menu, I find a lemmy app
- I am ready to select the community
- (The lemmy app resizes the picture for me)
I know that it is not an easy feature to implement. However, the lemmy fediverse would gain activity from it.
Also : it’s less painful, but sharing an URL directly from the browser would also be a must.
Have you tried holding images to Imgur? I share all of my images from there. I have never needed to resize or anything, while it is not perfect it does cut down on steps.
I’ve tossed it onto the backlog–I like the idea, but there are a lot of different moving pieces involved to make that happen. Many of them are already scoped, but I can’t give a concrete timeline right now.
