Ah, these endless parrots of olde WB “coy-toons.”

“So-uh-- whadya want me to DO with’em, boss…?”

“Go easy for now, but check their Disney credentials!”

Sounds good to me, and anything we can do to help, please!

Oh, geeze, no apologies necessary on anyone’s end, particularly towards our wonderful host’s end. We’re going to help make the Fediverse work, right? Alrighty then! ^^

Thank you!
huge sigh of relief

Okay, my host, Sunaurus– In future, would you say there are any specific do’s and don’ts about trying to include image content in posts & comments? Like, should I be doing something more smartly…?

Certainly.
So then, in WinX’ latest Chrome, latest behavior is as described above.

I.e., that the auto-added “image redirect” command that it seems you recently implemented, unfortunately so far seems to break viewing of an image in comment/post as described/exampled above.

Right so-- I had the idea that in case of any more problems going forth, I should then point to an image both in standard Lemmy protocol, but also just as pure web link, just to be sure.

Example post: https://lemm.ee/post/35734760

For example, yesterday I saw pictures and related links below, and today I see blank spaces and just the links themselves, no pics. I.e. same issue I was whining about originally.

Here’s more of the same markup-code, from same post:

Oops.
Worked yesterday, but broken again today. Dang.

Oh man, I did find my obnoxious comment, seemingly blaming you for my utter frustration at the moment.

That’s not right, and I sincerely apologise for that.

I’ve now edited my comment to reflect my pure idiocy at that moment. Thank you for any and all understanding on your part!

Tested and confirmed, thank you so much! <3

EDIT: Non-polite, frustrated words.
Old man ranting at clouds, basically.

Sorry folks, sorry.

Thank you!
And please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.

Overall I’m really happy with my community and this instance, just that… shit is frustrating, lol.

Tested again just now. Still seems busted.

Still this code added in, breaking image-linking attempts:

Thanks for this thread and the replies, and I just wanted to add on that there are additional issues going on, related or not. For example:

Our community (“lemm.ee/c/eurographicnovels” no longer shows up in “Lemmy Explorer.”

For example, we were the #2 listing for a long time, until ten days ago, when these three issues first manifested.

See:
https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=graphic+novels

“Graphic novels” is literally our title, and the wording routinely occurs throughout our posts, but we’re now invisible?

I think I’ll refrain from posting a pic here, but mom had a ‘plant-bent’ that she followed up on by eventually becoming a certified ‘master gardener’ via series of courses.

In parallel with that, over the course of many years, mom took the little suburban backyard we had and transformed it in to… holy Willy Wonkas… a sort of ‘lush paradise,’ and with each square foot or so, it consisted of generally non-native, fascinating species. I.e., plants with interesting herbal qualities, incredible flowers, or whatnot.

Earlier, we’d rescued two stray cats, and it was really fun seeing them go back outside and frolic in mom’s garden. Hahaha, it was like an amusement park to them, one in which they became undeniably blissful and non-argumentative. (see, they didn’t like each too much, despite being sister littermates)

Hmph!
Now do we also have a Melb-based song from Bartholomew Cubbins?

Haha, perhaps…?

I sort of accidentally discovered that when dining at the local cantina.

The restaurant did something neat in serving an appetizer of guacamole on top of pico de gallo. For whatever reason I decided to dump the whole thing in to the bowl of spicy, chicken-black bean soup I was having. The contrast in flavors, and cooked vs fresh, spicy vs cool was an instant game changer. Indeed, I never looked back from there.

Seems okay today!

The former ‘problem post’ is sorting properly now, and a new post made today looks like it’s being seen by people in the “active” streams. :D

While I don’t dispute any of that, it seems to me that Google’s CAPTCHA services can also cycle endlessly no matter what.

For example, I’ll have uMatrix give full permission to the service early in the day, and the queries will never end. Come back a few hours later and it will work first-time, no problem. Other days it might loop in images more than usual but will eventually work.

As if they have no issues with my particular setup, but sometimes lose track of my progress through the CAPTCHA.

Okay, looks like same issue today.
I tried editing the post, but it didn’t jump any higher in the community’s “active” list.

Will try again tomorrow.

Just a little smaller and he might be sarcastically playing the world’s smallest violin. :P

Something similar happened over here. A post I made early this morning doesn’t seem to be showing in peoples’ streams. Only when they go to the home community can they see it, I believe.

I’ll try to post again in a day or two and report back on what happens.

Yes, I found it well-written but not all that enlightening. I recognise that it made sense for SpaceGhost/CheapSkate to build his sites out by hand in the true spirit of DIY, but that doesn’t seem too practical or advisable for most folks.

The various federated software & networks may have their weak points and inconsistencies, but far as I can tell it’s still best for volunteer site runners to work within that framework so as to remain connected to something bigger than just their little personal corner of the internet. Is it really so expensive a thing to federate? I seem to recall that some instances can host for only ~US$20, which doesn’t seem bad at all. Images are arguably best stored at other sites like Imgur, anyway.
