Came across this article in the latest stuff magazine and in the past, a lot of writers were a little unsure, but seams more positive.

Is imgur blocked in Brazil?

No, it is some sort of incompatibility I guess.

Look:

Lemmy screenshot

Indeed, I asked Melroy above which format they use

[–] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 4 weeks ago

It's a jpg.

But the problem is most likely related to the ActivityPub message. It seems that Lemmy doesn't support attachments!?

[–] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

owh.. I blame Lemmy software.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What format do you use for pictures?

Are pictures from Lemmy viewable on Mbin?

[–] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Picture is just JPG. But like I said, it's the activity pub message which I believe Lemmy can't handle very well (or at all?). Its using a so called "attachment" attribute to the message. Here Mastodon also supports it: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/activitypub/#properties-used

Here an example of this:

Lemmy probably limits those to posts and not comments, and expects comments to have pictures in the comment body
