Hi there, new to lemmy. Just want to find out whether its fine to share from mastodon or other Fediverse services to lemmy?
As opposed to uploading the media directly into lemmy and not needing to open it in another app / browser?
I ask as I post photos on say pixelfed or mastodon or Friendica from a one-click-share-all app (croissant app)
But is it seen as bad to then just share the link with the said media into lemmy instead of posting it as an original post made and posted in lemmy?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. :-)
You can inline post the image. For example, this image is not uploaded but hosted on join-lemmy.org:
This is how I inlined it:
Note: The text in the square brackets is optional alt text when hovering over the image. It helps people with screenreaders.
The only requirement is that it is a direct link to the image.
Thanks soo much! And so we learn. :-)
