Thanks for the insight. Always interesting to hear when people with an inside view can chime in.

Yes you can with markdown. But like… then I’d have to go to whatever image site, upload the photo, copy the link, go back to the app, make my comment or post, paste the photo link, bracket it with markdown, and post.

Or, I could just click the little image button in Memmy and click upload photo and it does it for me. like so

I use Imgur because Memmy has uploading photos direct to Imgur built in, like Apollo did. If the devs swapped to using PixelFed, I’d be using that. It’s just a matter of convenience.

If I was uploading and sharing photos to my own account, yeah I’d use PixelFed. I don’t have an Imgur account.

So yeah, I agree. It would be good to get away from that service.

Buzzword grifting. Nothing particularly new. They’ll take donations and never deliver a final product. Probably stay infinitely in development before being swept under the rug.
