Do I need to do anything special to post a kind 20 image with amethyst?
It's https://lumina.rocks/. The whole time Olas was down, my feed was full of people complaining that they can't post anymore pictures, but you can post kind 20 image notes from lumina, nostr.build, Amethyst, and Jumble, just to name a few, and Derek even jumped in with an emergency replacement, and they were all working fine.
But, when Olas went down, the picture feeds stalled out, as everyone stopped posting, all at once. It's like when Primal goes down or etc. Nobody thinks, "Oh, I'll just use a different one...." And lots of the people who "take a break, waiting for Nostr to get fixed" don't return. Lose users, everytime, due to this extreme centralization.
We're too much like the Matrix protocol, where you can use any interoperable client, so long as it's Element.

No idea. I've just used the viewer.
I've posted them from Jumble, Nostrudel Event Publisher, and Lumina, so far.
nostr:nprofile1qqsfnw64j8y3zesqlpz3qlf3lx6eutmu0cy6rluq96z0r4pa54tu5eqq8rtwq do you know if Amethyst also publishes, or just views?
Amethyst publishes. Go in the media tab (where you see the kind 10 feed) and make a new post from there, instead of from the regular feed.
Nope, just go the that video/image viewer tab on the bottom (the middle one with the playbutton icon thingy). When you use the publish/post button there, it automatically makes a kind 20(picture) or kind22 (video) for you. :)
