Edit: I was searching for a "meta" community, since this is a post on Lemmy about current Lemmy limitations... But it turns out that this might very well be off topic. I apologise if it is the case... I would gladly take suggestions on what community would be best for this post, BTW.
How do you mark a comment as NSFW? I thought it was only for posts...
Edit: since the above post was removed because of not having a spoiler tag, here is one:
/!\ NSFW /!\
The closest thing I got is this:
Kinda unofficially. Can use NSFW as the title of the link.
e.g.:
[NSFW](https://example.com/xx.jpeg)Better than nothing. ~~I'll do that~~.
Edit: oh, you mean as the title of a link. Yeah nah, I don't believe anyone's gonna open it. Links often open outside of the client, people will not want that. However, I changed the image's text, so now it says "NSFW", and also, maybe I should open a feature request for lemmy so we can tag images as NSFW in comments as well.
Got it! “NSFW” test
Like this:
Replace “NSFW” with any text.
BTW better for somebody to click than get fired for an inline display image of some tig ole bitties. And mod removed your image in the meantime 😇
Edit: but if an entire thread is already NSFW (meaning that acronym is in the thread title), then fire away on the Photoshopped world leaders no matter what their state of undress! Almost certain that’s fine etiquette
I know of the spoiler feature, however it doesn't work on all clients.
For example, the client I use wants the spoiler to be:
And it doesn't work with images. At all.
With the Lemmy syntax, on my client, I can immediately (without clicking/tapping) see ':::', followed by: spoiler Got it! "NSFW" test, the image, and finally, ':::'. (It is without the single quotes, I added them for unambiguity).
Point is, aside from having a convention (like having "NSFW" anywhere in the image alternate text) where images are tagged NSFW, or a proper spoiler tag that is easy to parse and works everywhere (this one doesn't), I don't see how this can work. And I honestly think we should be able to tag images as both NSFW and spoiler independently.
IMHO it would be pretty dishonest to fire someone over mild nudity while totally being OK for your employees to do other personal things at work. However, I will concede that our society is extremely prude, and people will complain about kids being able to see that (kids, however, will not, and will gladly go to pron sites and happily click "I am over 18"...)
Yeah, the modlog says "NSFW. Next time use the spoiler tag or post a link."
That is ignoring that a spoiler tag will simply not work on most clients... But sure, let's pretend.
Edit: now there's a spoiler. Let's see if it works... 🤞
Voyager for Lemmy iOS just updated to support them at least! Progress.
