    I don’t know if you could help me – I managed to get enough karma to be able to create my own subreddit, I want to post there some hot amateur photos and drive traffic from there to my adult websites, but the problem is I am not able to upload pictures directly. I have to post them as a direct link from any other host. When I am trying to create a new post, I am not able to click on ‘Image’ the only option is ‘post’ and ‘link’ If I put a direct link to the image it will mirror it to Reddit cdn, which is fine, but the link will always stay on the top of every post. I noticed in other (NSFW) subreddits there is no link (mostly), just an image.

    Any idea what I am missing?

    You need to go into your Subreddit settings and allow “local uploads” i believe it is called under the “host images on reddit section”.

    Thanks, but it’s not just about my subreddit, I can’t directly upload pictures to any other subreddits except to my own profile. I see some people are able to do it somehow in exactly same subreddit I can’t. I tried embed pictures using markdown but it still doesn’t work for me.

    Do you have an example of someone posting pictures without the showing link?

    By far it seems like the vast majority of images I see (and how i post on reddit) are posted as links with the URL being the direct link to the image on Imgur (or other hosts).

    I do. This is taken from TotallyStraight SubReddit. Well, I guess it’s no big deal to keep posting them as a link. I have my own image hosting so I can keep posting pictures as links, I was just wondering if I am missing something and how they are doing this.

    I can’t figure out how he is doing that either. I’ve always thought it was like Daniel mentioned based on sub-reddit settings, but I tried posting in r/TotallyStraight and the option to upload an image directly is missing. Somehow u/400lbsGreaseShitter has figured a way around. I’ll let you know if i figure out anything, curious to this myself.

    My first thoughts are…

    Do they have levels for subscribers/members? Do you have to reach a certain level before you’re allowed to post like that? Is that other user a moderator?

    Well, I don’t think so. I have 10.000 karma, got 2 times silver award and once gold one, got a premium membership and created my own subreddit and still not able to post images directly.

    I just figured it out. You’ve marked your sub as NSFW. For this type of subs, the upload option is disabled and you cannot use it.

    I thought so too, but it is NSFW subreddit.
