So I know we can post text and images using the link button, but it would be nice to confirm what’s being pasted before uploading. A show clipboard, or a small preview of the clipboard would be nice.

Currently when pasting an image into a Lemmy post, it only shows a Lemmy URL before committing, not the image. Kind of unnerving when you’re thinking “did I copy the right image for this post, or is it about to upload something I don’t want it to?”

Hey! In Mlem v1 there’s a setting for this at General > Confirm Image Uploads. We haven’t added this to the beta version yet but will be doing so.

I have that turned on. I didn’t see an image preview in the draft post, just a Lemmy URL. I didn’t choose a photo from my device — this was an image copied to the clipboard. Don’t know if that makes a difference.

Thanks for the info. That's not the intended behavior; we'll make sure it works properly in Mlem v2. Sorry about that!

FAQ

When will insert feature here be implemented?
- Check our issue board--if there isn't an issue open for the feature you want, feel free to open an issue or make post! Just remember that devs are people too--we're doing this for free in our spare time, and building a quality app takes a lot of patient work.
Is Mlem available for Android?
- No. Mlem is written using SwiftUI, which is not currently supported on Android. If such support becomes available, we will look into bringing Mlem to our Android friends.
How do I join the beta?
- We are currently testing our new 2.0 codebase on TestFlight. We have two beta groups: a weekly group that receives the current state of our development branch every week, and a stable group that receives a curated pre-release build at the end of each development cycle.
