Like who hosts it and how do you get to --> posted
i just use lemmy.world’s image host, but if i want to host a video i use file.garden or catbox.moe
Can you outline the steps for that?
select your file, and then it’ll then give you a url which you would then just put in the url box of a post, or anywhere else you want to share an image. don’t use imgur, they don’t permit using it to share images to other sites, which is ironic considering they’re an image host but hey don’t ask me why they do that.
