  A post introducing a graphical web-based system would be remiss if an image of that graphical system was missing.

  Of course you can block those posts (if that function is.enabled) , but you’d be missing out on many discussions.

  This wasn’t my intention. What does it make my post look like?

    Don’t listen to them. This post renders fine on both voyager and default Web mobile UI for world. You did nothing wrong.

      So two mobile devices/UIs? Did you even understand the problem?

        Yes. And it looks perfectly fine, like any other post, just with an image appearing as the thumb instead of the text-only icon.

    I’m on Summit and it’s obvious from your post title and screenshot in my feed that this will be you presenting some kind of website or software. When clicked, the actual thread has your main post written out nicely.

    I think if a filter like what’s described is on its way, it’s very poorly thought-out. Many interesting topics will include images; an album cover when discussing a band, your cat when asking for advice about said cat, etc. It’s also fairly normal on Lemmy to add alt-text of images as plain text in the main post, so a filter would either include such posts as not image-only or exclude posts like yours. Seems like a bad system. I should think it’s better for users to block meme comms.

    It makes your post look like an image (low quality) instead of a link or discussion (possibly high quality).

    Like crap. Next time, write an article on your website, add a featured image, and link to that
