We’ll keep it in a single sticky thread for now and see how it goes. Please don’t forget to indicate which model you used to take the photo! 😁
EDIT: Won’t be pushing Pixelfed anymore. As someone in the comments already said, it reduces the quality of your photos. And Lemmy.world isn’t a small instance anymore and should handle the photos so we’ll ignore the recommendation below, unless of course you don’t mind the lossy compression that’s being applied :-)
If you want a tiny bit of lossless compression before posting your photos, if you’re on Linux you could feed them to jpegoptim.
The following is of course not necessary, but if it’s not too complicated for you it might be preferable to host your photos on a Pixelfed instance if they are too large to help lessen the burden on the lemmy.world instance!
Basically, once you upload your image on a Pixelfed instance, you can embed your image here by right-clicking (or long tap if on your phone) on the Pixelfed pic, choosing “copy image link” (or opening it in a new tab and copying the URL if your mobile browser doesn’t show this), and then you paste the URL here inside an image tag like this:
Nice shot! You can embed your image by right-clicking (or long tap if on your phone) on the Pixelfed pic, you choose “copy image link”, and then you paste it inside an image tag like this:
I don’t see that option anymore to copy link 🤔
Just noticed that on a phone only Firefox allows you to copy the image link directly, on Chrome however you can tap “open image in new tab” and there you will have the link in the address bar of that tab.
Anyway sorry if this is complicated, you’re obviously not obliged to do this and this was just a recommendation to avoid hosting lots of images weighing lots of MB on lemmy.world, but you could also host the pics directly on this instance 😁
