Also, would be nice to upload multiple pics in the main post ( If it is possible can anyone tell me how??)
Trust me, people hate when they download something and its in the webm format due to some devices and applications simply refusing to support it.
You can link multiple pictures in the message body, as shown. You can use
to show embedded images in the body of posts and comments. Click “Show source” to see how its done. Most instances will also allow you to upload pictures directly, giving you a link.
It seems like the real thing boils down to individual use case. WebP & WebM being a Google project has me uncertain out the gate. Looking at the format variances highlights this aspect:
“A few studies suggest that WebP compresses data more efficiently than JPEG or JPEG 2000. The benefits of file size reduction are especially noticeable for smaller files.”
“A well-optimized JPEG can be as good as or better than WebP at the higher end of the quality spectrum.”
“One of the main drawbacks of WebP is not all browsers support it yet. Only about 80% of the existing browsers offer WebP support.”
“PNG photos are of higher quality (lossless) and the texts are clear.”
So, for basic use WebP has an obvious benefit, but went photo editing and overall clarity are considered, then PNG or JPEG seems to be more reasonable.
To up load multiple pics you can use PNGs and throw them together in a simple editor making one file. Hopefully this won’t be needed in the near future though.

Multiple pics in a post: Click on the image button while writing the body of your message, it will add some text like this in your message:
Converting jpg/gif to webm: I think this is a question to ask to instance administrators, or maybe lemmy core development team
[Edit] Fun fact: the image you added for this post is a Jpeg and not a WebM
Was just a suggestion 😝. Anyway, i understand I can add pics in the the body and even the comments ( and I will use this option very well in future). But is there any way to add more pics in the main post box??
No I don’t think so, currently it’s only using a “link” (that can be a picture you just uploaded) and title; then there is the body of your post.
No way to put multiple images as the content of your post
ok tk 👌
I see everything on Lemmy already being converted to webm…?
