Don’t put the answer in the title!

You can give a clue in the title of your post, but please don’t ruin the game.

Spoiler tag your solutions.

There are two ways to do this, take your pick:

1. NSFW your screencaps.

NSFW blurs images so answers aren’t revealed automatically when you load the front page.

(This is a workaround since Lemmy doesn’t support spoiler-tagging image posts.)

2. Use the body spoiler code.

If you don’t want to NSFW the whole post, you can spoiler within the body text and put your solution there. Here’s the format:

spoiler

![](https://link.to.image.com/example.png)

You can upload your screencap directly into the body text. Just hit the picture icon in the formatting bar and it will insert that second line of code for you. So all you have to enter manually is the

spoiler spoiler at the top.

(I understand this is a bit fidgety, so if you’d rather just stick to the NSFW method for now, that’s perfectly fine.)

Thanks and enjoy!

Little experiment: This image should be automatically blurred for you even though I didn’t set the NSFW flag. Lmk if it’s not. :)

Same tonight!

If I open Lemmy through Jerboa, then it is blurred. If I open with Connect, it is unblurred. I think there are still some growing pains with the mobile apps. Haha.

Thanks for the report!

Alright, well until there’s some predictability in how blurs are handled, I guess the safest bet is to manually NSFW everything. Oof.

[–] DharmaCurious 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oops, I didn't write that well. Connect doesn't blur at all, even if it's tagged NSFW. I've checked my settings and the blur feature just doesn't work with Connect. Which really sucks, because I like it's layout better than Jerboa, but that's a deal breaker for me. Haha. I'm sticking with Jerboa for now.

What did you do to make it blur without tagging nsfw?

[–] WandersFar 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I set the whole sub as NSFW!

So Lemmy probably thinks we’re a porn sub now, lol. And I assume the default behavior would therefore be to blur everything.

Which it is in the browser, as far as I can tell, but the apps are still pretty inconsistent. So for the time being, I think the safest course of action is just to manually porn-flag everything. -.- Not an ideal solution, but the best we can do until Lemmy gives us spoiler post flairs.

Jerboa stopped working for me altogether! Don’t know why, but it crashed on startup, over and over. So now I’m on Connect, too. :)

Oh no, I hope it doesn't crash for me. :/ Does Connect blur everything for me? Maybe Connect thinks I want that porn content. Connect is judging me, it seems. :P
