Comment on xkcd #3109: Dehumidifier
yucandu@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoHey thanks, I’ve got tons of cool projects and gifs like these, and I love to share them and read the comments, but I don’t know where to post them on Lemmy. I used to post them to Reddit but they started shadowbanning my github for some reason. Didn’t even find out until the ESP32 mod messaged me and was like “we can’t even manually approve your posts”.

What about !diyelectronics@programming.dev?
Or if you are using Home Assistant you could post in !homeassistant@lemmy.world
There is a Lemmy community search function here if you want to check other options: lemmyverse.net/communities

I tried there but my posts never showed up. Tried twice. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. I’m on old.lemmy.world so it looks like old reddit.

That’s odd. Any error?
Federation from your instance Lemmy.world to the instance the community is on (programming.dev) is healthy, so that doesn’t seem to be the issue.
How far did you get? Any error?
My guess would be that you’ve tried to upload an image that is over the size limit - I think this is imposed by your own instance (Lemmy.world), and I’m not sure what the size limit is but I think 5MB per image is pretty common. If you drop the image size or upload elsewhere then link it, does that work?

I just hit submit and it spat me back out to the new posts, but mine wasn’t there.
I wasn’t trying to directly upload an image, just directly link to an imgur gifv.
