    If you mean a post, you can only chose one image to be the target of your post, but you can embed more in the text of your post.

    If you mean a comment, I’m not sure the source of confusion. You can embed multiple images. The Lemmy Web UI should work, as well as all the clients I’ve used.

    You just need to have the text:

    ![](url-to-image)
    

    …in your comment text.

    Most Lemmy home instances will be runnimg a pict-rs instance, and let you upload an image to it with a button near the comment text field and also add the above text to display that image in your comment in one go.

    If you’re trying and it’s failing, there can be a maximum byte size placed on the pict-rs upload by your home instance, and it’s possible that maybe your first image is below it and your second is not. There are also some image formats that wouldn’t be recognized, if you’re using something exotic for your second image — that could also cause the upload to fail.

      To be specific, do it like this:

      And so on. You can add more but some app like Boost will likely crash.
