quick psa for posting blogs/bulletins with images

⚠️DONT USE DISCORD OR IMGUR TO EMBED YOUR IMAGES BC THEY WILL DISAPPEAR⚠️

iirc discord changed something so images you sent will not work as embeds for longer than 24 hours. Imgur also changed their policies a while ago so that embedding anything from there simply does not work

INSTEAD: use an actual image hosting site like imgbb.com, catmox.moe, tenor.com, etc! there's tons of them online, you'll find one you like (and many of them are free!)

Don't wanna use an image hosting site? Make a burner social media account where you can post images to grab from (Imo Tumblr and Pinterest works best, but I think twitter and bluesky should also work if you want your account to be private. dunno how insta/Facebook works but they have a tendency to make the images blurry from what I've seen) 

Spacehey is NOT an image-hosting site, hell I don't think it has that ability built into it which is why you need to embed images in the first place. also; keep backups of your images/blogs/whatever you post here bc it won't last forever! 

Tldr: use an actual image hosting site or sns to host your images before embedding them onto Spacehey!

imgbb is great 80% of the time. They have a really easy interface but the servers go out quite a lot. Sometimes half my stamps won’t load for a week or more.

I've had some photos randomly disappear from imgbb, so I'd use caution when using that website for image hosting (particularly so if you're planning on uploading photos to blogs, forums, or even your own website for that matter).

did you make sure to set it to "dont autodelete" when uploading it?

Yes, I made sure. My images sometimes randomly disappear after months in spite of this, though.

I just copy paste the blog text to my notes app (since that backs up to my iCloud) but you could also use google docs or another writing program so you can save it on your pc/phone
