Welcome to the first ever lemmy.nz photo challenge! Also the first time I've tried anything like this so bear with me while I make it up as I go along. With any luck I'll find some prompts that'll fit everyone but definitely chip in if you have ideas or have run forum challenges before.

Rules? Rules! (but not many)

  • It has to be a shot that you've taken yourself, I guess. There are posts all over the net sharing other peoples' efforts but this is more about doing it yourself.
  • No NSFW, since that tends to open all sorts of issues around content control and this is meant to be a bit of fun.

Okay, we're starting off with a cliche this week, because I'm all for easing into things:

I don't think you can embed it in a fancy way, but if you copy the image URL (not the page link, but right click on the image and copy the image link) then you can use markdown to embed the image. It's basically the same as a link but put ! in front, like so:

![alt text here - used for screen readers](https://pixelfed.nz/path/to/image.jpg)

Ahh right - so the result will be that the viewer will be taken to the image itself and not the Pixelfed page correct?

So long as you get the link right, it will show the image within the comment.

e.g. here's a recently posted image I just found:

https://pixelfed.nz/p/pablo/620911224907388141 and here's what I get if I copy the image location: https://pixelfed.nz/storage/m/_v2/513250381254845674/f1538e3aa-7b3151/4bKLqhHyp7hs/yXLaNVwdRYVFUFRL4Xrzm7WARXu9hTTwJKc8jA8J.jpg

If I use markdown like so:

Then I get:
