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.
