Could the UI and App devs please make it more clear that URL and image options when making a post are mutually exclusive? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Jerboa's not too bad, as the URL field is the same field the link to your uploaded image ends up overwriting, but I swear I see people making this mistake every fucking day. End up posting just an image when they wanted image + link.

Apologies, as I'm sure there's proper channels for this, and open source projects tend to not have the best UIs. Just shouting into the void.

I confirm, I've personally edited a post 3 times over until a day later I've understood what's exactly happening: https://lemmy.ml/post/37434570
