One of the best features of Lemmy is that it supports a combination of image and text. I wish including the source link of a comic would be a standard practice on the fediverse, just like alt-text already is.
Source links are great for:
p.s. I was thinking of posting this as a meta-post in /c/comicstrips but I only saw guidelines for how to post comics there.
There are some users who do this (me being one of them) and there’s another user named Crul (If i remember correctly) who’s adding the links in the comments. It’s a start.
Definitely support the idea
Crul is amazing with the detailed links!
I’m posting less there now (because I haven’t been reading as many comics recently), but I used !instance_assistant@lemmy.ca for my posts
It will add the image as the URL, and add the post link as "source: examplecomic"
The famous @Crul@lemm.ee
Indeed! They’re awesome
Suddenly every comic post I’ve seen has source links included now!
Maybe it was already a more common practice than I realized, but it sure looks like the fediverse hivemind took my simple bit of feedback to heart and promptly began acting accordingly. I love it here 🥰
Maybe contact the mods there to ask about meta-posts?
The mods are pretty nice, you could probably post it and people will go with it :)
