memmy devs already confirmed on github that they won't add inline pics as we see them on wefwef, mlem or browser. Instead they'll try to add a link that says "show image" at the place where the image is supposed to be. Better than the situation now but still bad imho.
That's btw how wefwef handles pics in comments, mlem also shows the full pic here.

Yep, that'd be alright to do it like this. It's not knowing there's a pic that's the problem.

Edit: just noticed it was added in the latest Testflight update. Nice!

Is that different from the actual app store version? Because there I still don't see it.
btw I had to use wefwef to find your comment because memmy can only bring me to the thread but not to the specific comment^^

The AppStore version will always be lagging behind by a few updates, I'm afraid. It takes time for Apple to validate a new AppStore build, unlike TestFlight builds.

Shame, I uninstalled the testflight version after their comment that they won't display inline pics like the other apps and now the beta is full^^
How did they do it with the latest update? Is it a link which opens an image in a new window or is it sort of a spoiler tag view?

It looks like this! And apparently this update should show up on the AppStore in the next 24h ;-)

Hm but this is just like posts looked since I know Memmy. I was talking about actual inline pics in posts, not in comments, so text followed by a pic followed by more text.

In memmy that’s text followed by text followed by a link to an image like in your screenshot

Edit: This post for example should have an image around the middle of the post https://lemm.ee/post/523075

but this is just like posts looked since I know Memmy

Maybe for posts, but with comments, inline pics weren't displayed nor acknowledged. If you were on Memmy you wouldn't know someone had attached a pic to their comment. (basic image links worked, but it's different).

In memmy that’s text followed by text followed by a link to an image

Yep, that's how they decided to do it for comments too, now.

Edit

Pic is displayed at the end of the post still ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks, so I don’t have to wait for the update. For me Memmy is still pretty much useless as long as there are posts where I have to guess where there’s supposed to be which of the images.
