How do I post a photo in comments? New here due to Reddit ban.
On desktop, you can just paste it.
You can do markdown, so
I use Jerboa client on Android. It feels very much like the Reddit is Fun app.
There are rich text buttons at the bottom of the new post field. One is a photo icon, click that and it takes you to your photo/file browser to select a pic.
Here’s a pic I took of Earth’s bff, la Luna.
You’re asking the wrong person. Due either to my client, or my instance, I get, like, a 20% success rate on attaching images. Most of the time I get an error.
On my client, there’s a little picture icon. When I click that, it lets me select a picture and, if the wind is blowing in the right direction and the stars align, the picture is embedded. Otherwise, I upload to catbox.moe and manually embed the URL. The markdown syntax for an embedded image is:
i usually just have the picture in my clipboard and then ctrl+v. it should be uploaded and the markdown link added for you
“Windows is a good OS”
A bunch are usually people disagreeing and making up situations to make themselves right… i.e., you posit that the sky appeared blue when you went outside today, the replies are: not if it’s night, not during cloudy days, etc. and at least one that sounds like they disagree but are reiterating what you just said.
I’ve made this observation before, but the funniest thing about Lemmy is that !ShowerThoughts posts elicit more controversy than !UnpopularOpinion. Like, someone posts “I love pineapple on pizza” in !ShowerThoughts, and it’s downvoted to hell with people writing long essays about how pineapple on pizza is justification for bringing back shock treatment. The same thing posted to !UnpopularOpinion brings out a mob of people saying how not unpopular an opinion that is, quoting statistics about how Hawaiian Pizza is the most popular pizza in America. It’s absolutely hilarious, and one of the few areas where the Lemmy community is truly contrarian just for contrarian’s sake.
With the exception of populations of some instances which I won’t hex by bearishly naming, and a few individually excessive dicks (or trolls, but I think most are really just assholes), the Lemmy community tends to argue in good faith, admit when they’re wrong or have had their minds changed, and are generally polite netizens in most exchanges. But !ShowerThoughts and !UnpopularOpinion just being out the contrarian in people, for some reason.
people writing long essays about how pineapple on pizza is justification for bringing back shock treatment.
I’m here for the essays. To read them…and to write them.
Have to get it out of my brain.
Unpopular opinion is just posting things that plenty of people actually agree with. Like pineapple pizza. An actual unpopular opinion would be something like agreeing with restricting abortion or something difficult that elicits very strong feelings.
Actual unpopular opinions are not allowed on unpopular opinion
True. They probably get downvoted to oblivion.
Similarly actual shitposts are banned in shitposting communities.
I know exactly how you feel😂
Also, what was happening in that other site many of us used to be in so interactions between the same people talking the same points were so rare?
Bots. You never knew if you were talking to a bot.
Plus, way more assholes. Like way more.
Look at all these replies! I can’t wait to tell all these internet randos how wrong they are!
How wrong am I?
It’s not my job to educate you
Classic. Reddit taught you well.
I sometimes write something that might be controversial, so unless I have a lot of free time I don’t open Lemmy at all, lol.
Usually its when I either offend the libs on world or the fake leftists on ml/hexbear. Sometimes if I’m particularly skilled I piss off both of them at the exact same time (usually by advocating for true liberation for the working class not under a so called “vanguard” but by and for the workers themselves)
I know what I said, y’all’s angst feeds me.
This would all be easier if you all just agreed with me, the always correct person.
If I’m ever wrong. I delete that comment and pretend it didn’t happen. Or if someone actually makes a good counter argument I just go “meh, don’t feel like replying” and leave them unread. I do the worst crime. I’ll be 10 replies in and I won’t even downvote their last comment to let them know I read it. I’m sure it’s infuriating.
I got the last comment! I won!
I might not always be right, but I’m never wrong
Half the time you just have to say “Fuck Tankies” or “Vote DNC” and you’ll get 4, 10, or even 20 of the most cookie cutter responses you’ve ever seen in your life.
That’s an awfully asymmetric expectation of effort!
Depends on how good the opponent’s automation is.
I’m pretty excited to see and check what gained traction
My first thought is always “Must be Nicole the Fediverse chick again” 😂
Find hot Nicoles in your local Fediverse!
I just got her message this morning! 😂
I assume the right-wing propaganda planners have decided they need to counter something I said
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN BENT OVER BY BIGFOOT WHEN EXPLORING THE WOOD AND MISTAKEN FOR A MATE. THEN LEFT THERE LAYING OUT LIKE A WET SPAGHETTI NOODLE! THIS IS HOW IT FEELS DRIVING A FORD F150!
Reminded me of this
should’ve went with the F250…
next time brah
Hahahahaaa I didn’t know which to use but totally
I’m too scared to check tbh. Somebody tell me if I am getting downvoted because I see 150 unreads
you kicked the .ml hornet nest, didn’t you?
here’s some ointment, now take your medicine and join the rest of the lemmies
Hornets? More like gnats or midges. Worst case, they tickle your skin a little or maybe you breath one in and cough it out onto the floor. They certainly do not sting. You can only even see them in the right light.
