On Lemmy, it is possible to upload an image by pasting it from the clipboard into the URL or Body field.
On PieFed, it seems that it is not possible to upload an image unless it is already stored as a permanent file on one’s device.

For a few seconds immediately after pasting, there’s a small popup with a “click to delete image” button.
Yeah, I understand that storage can be a challenge. It’s always a tradeoff between cost and redundancy. Any time you rely on someone else’s storage, there is the potential for link rot. I wonder if there would be some way for instances to share the load of file hosting in a P2P manner.
I remember one of the Lemmy mobile apps has an “upload to Imgur” option. It would be neat if such a feature were implemented natively in PieFed.
What is immense? aka. do we have an idea how much storage 1000 users would use per year
Perhaps it can be an optional feature for instance-owners? (If they can set limits per user that might also help)
We can already upload images with the button, pasting it shouldn’t increase the size right?
