I’m super impressed by the features I’m discovering using Piefed! I’m going to be experimenting a lot with the keyword filter particularly. Here are some ideas we might add to make Piefed even better. Share you own in the replies.
Some of these options where too long to make it a poll.
Not sure about other apps, but Summit has an image upload button. They go to media.piefed.social
I would imagine hosting images would cost a fair bit. Perhaps they can have a premium option to fund it.
The website / PWA can’t currently upload images.
Summit doesn’t have deduplication yet.
Voyager can do it too, via PWA even. Don’t even need to press the upload button, simply copy and paste the image, it gets uploaded and included in the comment automatically.
I think with file size limits it’s not really so bad for cost. Lemmynsfw proves that.
Add image hosting with an ephemeral approach like 4chan, where posts older than a day get little interaction and low-quality content is deleted after a month. This keeps a long-term archive of high-quality content without clutter.

You might want to have a look at https://chat.piefed.social/ , quite a few of the suggestions brought here have been discussed there
Summit also has the setting to use imgur instead in cases where the instance upload rules are too strict.
