So, I don’t know if you’re aware – and your client may work differently, if you’re not using a browser – but in the Lemmy Web UI, you can expand images that are directly posted by clicking on them.

The main difference is images on imageboards are posted not only as topic or for sharing content, but WITH EVERY MESSAGE in discussions just for fun and for the sake of it. So a person might start posting every message in a thread with a new image of his anime waifu, even though the discussion might be about linux kernel or whatever. This format of conversation is already a culture in itself, but there's more to imageboards. You just have to try both to feel the difference in vibe.

Thanks! I've been digging myself and somehow this is first time I see this particular catalogue! I wonder what's wrong with my google-fu.

I actually would be interested to try a non-anonymous imageboard, but I've never seen one. What I'm seeking there is not anonymity but the way it's structured: linear chatty threads with easily expandable images/videos attached to posts, references to other messages using post number backlinks that show referenced post on hover. The way redditlikes feel with this tree-like structure is totally different and it breeds different types of discussions and totally different vibe. This works better for stricter, more formal, more serious discussions, while imageboards work better for chaotic fun chatty threads with incidental RP and whatnot. In a way, imageboards feel more like chat, but turn-based one instead of real-time, and it's really quite unique vibe.

This platform is good, but I don't see this format as interchangeable with imageboards. For me redditlikes and imageboards are totally different beasts. And even within imageboards, there are actually 2 totally different non-interchangeable types: those like 4chan, a format I'm talking about, the one most often associated with the word "imageboard", and those like gelbooru, which are closer to stuff like pinterest. Still thanks for letting me know about mbin/piefed because I wasn't aware of those.

4chan has become unbearable due to a ridiculous rule that, coupled with some of the worst choices in moderation staff, has turned even the slower, thematic boards into some of the least free-speech-friendly places on the internet. And when I'm saying "free speech" I don't mean slurs or being mean to people in general, I mean expessing all kinds of opinions that local moderator might not like, most importantly discussing their unjustified actions regarding deleted posts and blocked users. Citing the rule that made this happen:

Complaining about 4chan (its policies, moderation, etc) on the imageboards may result in post deletion and a ban.

NEET draft dodger type. I prioritize life and wellbeing over nation-state things. Living off savings, never leaving apartment, and waiting for opportunity to sneak out of country after ceasefire or defeat.
