I can no longer share images/gifs as images. : voyagerapp@lemmy.world

It used to be that if I wanted to say… share a meme via text- it just select the meme, hit share, and chose a contact and it would share as a meme in the message.

Now I do the same thing, and it sends as a link.

For me. I used to be able open an image from a post, click share button and a preview of said image appears in messages. Now it is just a blank “content” preview that doesn’t send the image in question.

Thanks. This appears to be related to image proxying enabled on lemm.ee. Ugh, shit timing with my vacation coming up

It's not just lemm.ee. I've been getting this behavior for awhile now. Workaround is to save the image via long press (since share treats it as a file) and then share it from the photo roll.

I actually meant to start a thread last night but got sidetracked.
