Also, are there Lemmy frontends that don’t screw up the order of uploads? The perfectionist in me just screams, but doing it one by one is blah.
Should I even be posting albums in the first place? I sorta like the curation aspect more than just firing off individual pictures, but I don’t know how the audience feels about this 😁 Feedback welcome!

Yeah, that is correct. Firefox and chrome will return the order of the file picker. So unless you already sorted it in the file picker, the ui must somehow add an extra step before uploading as you cannot get the data of their selection order.
If that was your case, then it is absolutely a bug that can be fixed on the client side without adding new features.
Oh yes but my point is that even though I know that the order in the file picker is correct, the result often isn’t. Out of curiosity I just had to check how web-ui does things, and turns out I was essentially right about how the uploads are done: looking at the markdown textarea source, each upload is turned into Markdown and added into the comment body as soon as it finishes (in
uploadSingleImage
). Wouldn’t even be all that hard of a fix I think, let’s see if I’ll find the energy to make a throwaway github account and make a PR out of this 😅
