is there a way to directly share an image rather than a link?

is there a way to directly share an image rather than a link? - Lemmy.world

In Apollo I could tap and hold a posted image and there’d be an option to share the image directly with my contacts. Here I can only share the Lemmy link. I guess what Apollo was doing was temporarily downloading the image/video and then deleted it after being shared. Right now I can’t copy an image through wefwef either, I have to open the link through safari to have that functionality.

I mean I can do it. I tap and hold, and I see a “Share Image” option. Are you sure you aren’t trying to share a thumbnail image from a link? Go to [email protected] and try it.

No unfortunately it doesn’t do anything other than a subtle zoom when I tap and hold, no menu pops up or anything :(

I have the same problem today. I guess it’s the new gallery view.

It’s better, but this use case seems to have vanished. Let’s hope it returns soon!
