Is there still no way to attach an image/photo group album collection or slideshow on the post header, and if it's being worked on, where can I follow the development? (lemmy.world)

Title. Just curious if there's any workarounds (like external hosting or linking to Pixelfed albums), or any solutions on the horizon, since I haven't seen any posts about it, at least not recently.

‌ I was just wondering if there was a way to make a post with multiple pictures that you can navigate one at a time with the arrow buttons or clicking next, without them taking over your screen and having to scroll down to see them. So they wouldn't be displaying all at once, which is the whole point.
 I'm not a web development guy so I'm not familiar with the technical aspects of how it works or the limitations; I was only asking in case someone knew a way to do it, or if it was a planned feature in future versions of Lemmy.

    I thought you were aiming for screen take-over, to be honest. That or DRM, where you prevent downloads and/or screen-shots. Now you've got me wondering if we could hack a solution together with the existing Lemmy markup, but I doubt it.

    That'd be awesome. I know you've got a lot on your dev plate, but I think the feature would go a long way toward helping the usability and adoption of lemmy.

    Apologies if I've said something to confuse you, but I'm not even a "dev", let alone a lemme dev. I'm just old, for a millenial.

    That said, you could try something like:

    1
    2

    ... but that's the best I've come-up with just yet. I had thought we could maybe fit multiple of the collapsible-arrows on one line like-so, but both a text label(the 1 and 2) and line-breaks are mandatory/required to make the lemmy spoiler-tag work. It's the single mark-down I find most annoyingt to work with here.

    Now that we have our criteria narrowed-down, you mind if I cross-post your post to another community/instance? From what I've heard of the devs, they likely won't be watching lemmy.ml, so this community you've posted in seems to be more for discussion of activity on lemmy, not-so-much lemmy developement.
