  I’m glad to see people finding interesting and beautiful things to post, I just don’t understand copying content and not sharing the link. Copying to me is a quick “that’s pretty”. Sharing the link helps the creator and anyone new that wants to learn more about the content. It’s such a small amount of work from the poster so that everyone that sees it can get a little more out of it.

  Mostly though, I just don’t understand why you attributed so well, taking the time to format links and look them up, but didn’t do a quick copy paste of where you saw it. I’m not even trying to have a dig at your behaviour here, it’s just something I don’t relate to.

  I hope you keep posting, I just think the link adds a lot and helps avoid things like CG.

    I’ve been pasting the link to the highest resolution of a given APOD image in the URL of the post so that people don’t have to leave Lemmy to view or save the image. Would it work if the body of the post only said, Source?

    Could you please demonstrate the post you would have made? It’s not clear to me what you think should be included.

      I’m just some arrogant guy on the internet and not some arbiter of correctness, but something along the lines of adding a link pointo the original material along with the amazing image and quote. I think it would be this:

      apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap260207.html

      But, it seems like I sent the wrong link before so that probably confused things. Sorry about that
