I am assuming image hosting will be quite difficult to scale if kbin keeps growing exponentially. Currently, I believe @ernest is taking care of hosting?
I remember IMGUR being created to aid Reddit/Redditors to host images without much hassle, but what would be the best way to tackle this for kbin? Use 3rd party hosting like imgur and the like?
Regarding posting media, there are still a few functionalities that could use some work. The video button does not seem to work, and images do not respect aspect ratio in the main kbin feeds. In my opinion clicking an image in the feed should expand it (much like Reddit Enhancement Suite allowed), or the button to expand it should be more visible.
I wonder, kbin has a option to add a picture to a post, but it does not seem to work, or do anything at all. There is a file path selection, a upload button and it is doing nothing.
File path selection works for me on android.
I can also select a file, but nothing works beyond that.
Sorry I should have been clearer. I can select a file and then post the image. I did it on this post. Just don’t bother clicking upload file and go straight to Add comment.
Edit: I just posted a screenshot to m/quickstart
Edit: Yep that worked, weird.
Success! Yeah I guess the image functionality isn’t fully fleshed out yet.
its still not working for posts for me It was working before so I am not sure what changed I think it does work for comments though
test
Hmmm, let let me try.
Try from desktop
Edit: Yep it works now, guess the devs fixed it because I tried exactly that and it did absolutely do nothing.
