Yeah I mean that makes sense and follows how reddit functions, I think the UI could do with some reworking or clarification on that though. I'm surely not the only one to be confused by it. Ultimately if it lets you fill in 4 boxes and submits fine with no errors, its a little strange that one of the boxes doesn't do anything.

So for example, I posted a link to some Lemmy growth statistics. I posted the source of them to the URL field, I posted a particular graph to the image field (uploaded from my PC) and then I discussed that particular graph in the body field, as well as a title of course.

Upon hitting submit of course, the Source I thought I was providing had been lost

I have also seen people posting articles a lot where there is a relevant image posted, and the article text or a section of it posted to the body I guess to save people clicks. But then the URL/source is missing so you have no idea where the article actually comes from.

I think this system needs a redesign to make it clear how it functions - like reddit is the same in that you can't have a URL as well as an image so it's not a problem, but when you can input 4 different pieces of information and Lemmy effectively deletes one without letting the user know I don't think that's good design or clear at all.
