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:

  • Properly crediting and driving traffic to artists
  • Checking authenticity
  • Preventing image degradation for re-shares

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.

    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 [email protected] for my posts

    1. Go to comic on artist’s site
    2. Right click on comic and post to Lemmy

    It will add the image as the URL, and add the post link as “source: https://examplecomic
