I keep seeing communities on lemmy writing in their bio "not official" or in some way deferring to the reddit community. I also see them writing that they're willing to give up their community to the reddit mods if they ask. It's like the whole place has imposter syndrome.

We're the adults, guys.

We're here. This is our community now. We broke up with that site, and we are making a new one. Run your community the way you think it should be run. Their communities are not any more official than ours. This is our place, not theirs.

We're the adults. We're the mods. We're the community.

You can post pictures in comments?? I was so confused thinking i scrolled to another posts for a sec.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

yes! Lemmy supports inline pics in comments!

[–] slin 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

They are not visible in Mlem.

[–] samus12345 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's confusing. Would be nice if it at least mentioned there was an image there.

[–] slin 2 points 2 years ago

The images actually load, but not instantly for me. I need to revisit a post/comment to see them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Mlem is an early beta and is not feature complete. You should learn to be patient.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Enjoy this view while you wait.

Aaaaaaaaa why sideways?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I don't know that lemmy or the app. The pic is right side up before I uploaded. That needs to be fixed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

:^) looks fine to me

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

lol, your pic is sideways.

[–] ewe 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Haha, we're learning lessons here left and right.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot 1 points 2 years ago

Up and down, actually, 'cause it's sideways.

[–] slin 1 points 2 years ago

I know … I am very patient or else I would neither use Lemmy nor Mlem.

[–] berkeleyblue 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I am on MLEM (Version: 0.0.7 (23)) I’m seeing them. Have you maybe missed an update?

[–] slin 1 points 2 years ago

No, but they appeared after I revisited this page. Thanks.

Best feature I love here and also can control the text as well. Always wanted to add pics in comments without having to link to imgur now we can.

Of all memes, I was not expecting a DS9 one, bravo

Corporations are killing their own platforms and the nerds are building their own decentralized social media network. The internet is healing.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago

Should have been babylon 5

[–] WhoRoger 2 points 2 years ago

Woo DS9

Is this actually happening? Reddit bots posting negative impact content to torpedo Lemmy?

I know the other day I saw John Oliver and Disney on the front page. I hope those users gets banned.
