Comment on Anon needs help to solve the mystery

  I’m having the perfect T-shirt for him

  Btw: I couldn’t upload the picture to Lemmy directly, as it’s probably too large for my instance limits. But I’m not sure which image sharing platform is still ok to use (after imgur) and I’m even more stuck in how to embed the linked image correctly in a comment, besides just linking to it.
  What’s the correct way to do this?

    catbox.moe might be an option.

    You might be better off learning to use an app or editing to crop and then swap old image formats to webp in order to get them much smaller. In Linux it usually happens automatically by just renaming the file from something like .jpg to .webp.

    I would have grabbed the image to post it as an example but the postimg host is a mess of a website I don’t let through my firewall (IIRC from the last time I tried). I don’t think they allow direct embedding either, thus the reason their website is such a convoluted mess of junk happening in the background.

    You could sign up on a Pixelfed instance, or self host if interested as that is part of the fediverse.

    The image embedding syntax on Lemmy is ![](image.URL.goes-here)

      changing the file extension shouldn’t do anything, especially on linux, maybe if you’re using a distro designed to do that. It will just pretend to be a different format, and if it works its pure chance, because file extensions don’t really do anything. I’ve had a lot of jpgs that weren’t actually jpegs and were actually pngs but they were listed as jpg for some reason, shit is just silly.

      Thanks, maybe it’s my client that’s limited.

      But, Ehm … Regarding the Linux part:
      Just renaming a file shouldn’t convert it to something else - at least Linux isn’t doing that, especially as it doesn’t cares that much about file suffixes.
      So what do you mean, that automatically converts it?
      If you rename something in the terminal, it just gets a different name (which includes the suffix), but that won’t change anything in the data

      What do I miss here?

      Thanks for the pixelfed hint, I just signed up while posting, to have an alternative in the future :⁠-⁠) And especially thanks for the Lemmy markdown formatting to embed an image!
      That one was the thing, I was looking for!

        Maybe I installed something or wrote a script that I forgot about (happens cause super sleep deprived from disability, broken neck and back), or maybe it is a fedora thing (I think it is this), but yeah, if I change the suffix it also changes the model file automatically. If it can’t do the change it will tack on the additional suffix. So like if I try to rename image.jpg to image.png, it just does it, but if I rename image.jpg to image.svg it will automatically rename to image.svg.jpg to let me know that it does not work.

    I can recommend catbox.moe

    And images are embedded with
