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.
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: https://examplecomic”
The famous @Crul@lemm.ee
Indeed! They’re awesome
