I wanted to make a category on my blog, where I post either single images, or groups of a few images. I don't think they really would need a proper post, but I simply wanted a place to post images

I guess a gallery is the ideal way of doing this, but then they would all end up in one huge gallery instead of a feed of images.

Do you have any ideas on what would work best for this? It is basically an instagram type of feed, where I can share images without really too much fuss and where they are easy to browse

Maybe a feed from the image library instead?

Just saw this. - Do you know about Pixelfed? sort of like Federated Instagram.

[-] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I do and i do use pixelfed! But this is more of a post type for my blog to just post single pictures as individual posts.

Are you looking to provide this as an ActivityPub feed or just on the site? Im fairly new to Wordpress (Background in other CMSs) but getting into creating different type of posts and lists of posts based on categories.

Just the site really. Although the site is linked to activity pub and posts do get shared already, i am looking for a way to post single images to my blog without having to create a standard post as such

So.. #Blindleadingtheblind but I think the idea is you create a post type that has attributes that allow one or more images to the post. Then create a list that renders the items in an order. (Well this is how I would do it on other CMS systems. ) So I am going to see if I can figure out how to do this for PDF documents .. lets see if I retain enough focus to do it and what results I get.
