Do you think you'd be able to add a means of embedding images in a comment, please? We're pretty close with the link feature, but it just needs an exclamation mark for it to embed.

Thank you!

What do you mean sorry? Sync already adds the !

[โ€“] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 months ago (4 children)

Sorry I must be missing it, then. How can I do that if I'm wanting to use an image link, without uploading one? Thanks!

Given we already have an app icon chooser implemented, could we get an 'old' icon that uses red/blue for up/down? You pretty much just have to rotate the existing icon 180

The post editing update is amazing.

[โ€“] Denalduh@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (4 children)

When previewing the post or comment being made, pictures that are in the portrait style aspect ratio do not show up in the preview.

Here's an example:
Landscape

Portrait

Landscape

Result

There's also an issue with uploading pictures. All 3 of the pictures on the above example failed to upload unless I cropped them. Using the crop tool and sizing it to be the original aspect ratio/size does seem to bypass the issues.

Cropped example

All of your pictures loaded and looked fine for me.

And uploading also works fine for me. It's probably an issue with your instance or file format? Are your pictures JPEG, or maybe some other format such as HEIC? (By cropping, it's probably converted to jpeg regardless of what the original format was)

Click their profile and view their comments. Only the horizontal ones will appear.

Also, uploading works fine for me without cropping.

That need for cropping issue was in Sync for Reddit too.

Disregard this comment, misread the parent

~~Just confirming that all 3 pictures also display correctly for me:~~

[โ€“] youthinkyouknowme@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

If I understood it correctly, it's when previewing the comment/post, not when viewing an already made comment/post.

[โ€“] sure@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

Yeah, my bad, you are correct. Just tested with the preview and portrait pictures indeed do not show.
