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.

    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.

    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.
