Is there a way to upload pictures directly to steem posts and comments or do they have to be externally hosted always?
If they always have to be externally hosted, then the FAQ seems a little unclear.
This can be done by uploading it to a Steemit comment or post, or using a third-party image host such as Postimage.
If you can upload it directly, how can you do that?
I upvoted this comment since it links to the FAQ. however the FAQ solution doen't work for me, Ctrl+V does not seem my clipboard for some reason and it does not offer an off site decentralised / crypto solution
Just drag and drop your pic right in the markdown/html editor, it's strange that it only works in the markdown/html editor, afterwards you can continue in normal editor mode.
