Are you just going around, commenting "not a meme"?
Also, people didn't believe me, but I knew that CPR worked.
If anyone can tell me why I can't post images anywhere on lemmy, I'd appreciate it.
Do you mean you want to insert an inline image? To do that you need to use markdown embed, like so:
Exclamation point makes the image appear inline, instead of as a link.
That didn't work with the above edit.
Problem is any image I paste or upload gives me; "Problem uploading image. Please try again."
Web or app?
Voyager.
Yeah, I have had issues with Voyager letting me upload pics as well, though the message I get is something along the lines of "this application doesn't allow picture modification here."
I still have Sync installed so I can upload images.
The issue is lemm.ee disables image uploads until accounts are four weeks old.
Well that explains the other users issue. My account is over a year old.
I don't think so? I think Voyager just doesn't like having images in text replies. I could, for instance, write this comment in Voyager, open the comment in Sync and add in the picture if I want.
The only problem with your image above is that the link to is broken. If you insert an existing URL from web, it will work.
Not sure why your uploads don't work though.
Its an existing URL. I added the exclamation as described.
Thanks anyways. Big Fan :)
Here's the URL in your comment:
If you try to open it directly, you'll see an error, when you should be seeing an image.
I see a couple issues with it.
Firstly, URL contains an image proxy. Now, I'm not sure how exactly Lemmy works and if those are necessary, but my comments don't have those (on most clients you can use an option to see the raw comment text).
Secondly, that imgflip URL leads to a page and not to a direct image, which causes issues. If you link the direct image URL like so:
The result is:
Regarding the podcast you linked, I'm in no way associated with it, if that's what you thought. I'm just using an account on StarTrek.website Lemmy instance because I'm a fuckin' nerd. 🖖
Bro. IDK WTF and the existing link was my attempt at the suggestion, not my original link which was like...
This
I add an exclamation and...
This is the link you're using:
(I also noticed that you switched to using another image
8zyq0dvs8zykr0, so I'll switch as well to avoid confusion)It's not a direct link to an image. Use a direct link to an image:
As you can see, the URLs are different:
i." in front ofimgflip.com.jpg" at the end
Try copy-pasting this exact line:
and you should get:
Now, IDK why your client adds the proxy, but I hope that it's not breaking anything. We will know once you try.
I really appreciate your time, but I don't know technically why I'm doing this, why it works, or how to replicate it going forward. Pretty annoyed with the inability to simply paste or upload.
No problem. If you have more questions, feel free to ask.
I used Sync back in Reddit days, but not on Lemmy, so IDK if that's Sync's fault or your instance's*. Try another client? I'm currently using Voyager. It's like Apollo for iOS, but free.

Installed and logged in using Sync. Same issue, but says, "Could not upload image."
If I copy and paste it says, "Sync pasted from your clipboard." but nothing happens.
Bummer for sure.
From lemm.ee sidebar,
I contacted your admin (@sunaurus@lemm.ee) about an issue where the response to the image upload doesn't have the proper CORS headers, which prevents Voyager from reading the response. Hopefully that gets resolved at some point so we can get more helpful error messages :)
If I get the right link and apply the formula, looks like I can at least post online images, if not from my phone.
Thanks again.
Hey, I saw this ping, but I didn't actually get any message from you about CORS headers. Where did you contact me?
Hey! Through DM, about a week ago. I'll copy below (it's nothing sensitive):
Just curious, how do you compress images? Is there a web API?
No API, its just some JS code that resizes in a canvas.
TY
