Sorry, I thought I had included the link, turns out that it was the description of the image. Fixed now
Fixed now
I love that Lemmy lets you do that.
I thought I had included the link
If you paste a link and then upload an image, it actually puts the URL of that image into the URL field, overwriting what you had already put there.
Cheers, much appreciated mate!
And if you want to point out a certain part, you can put it in the body of the post (even as an image if you absolutely must, but copy-pasting the text would be better)
I can't find anywhere that says this is the expectation. Can you send me a link?
None of what I said is a rule or anything. I was only making suggestions (I said "you can"). The comment got a few upvotes, though, so I'm not alone in thinking it's a good way of going about things.
To be honest, I hadn't considered the possibility of posting the screenshot as an alternative thumbnail. At the time I was suggesting putting an excerpt in the body as a means of posting an excerpt at all while still linking to the article, but you found another way to achieve that which I can see definite advantages in.
I think a lot of people here prefer text in general, though. Recent examples of people pasting key excerpts as text in the body: https://aussie.zone/post/20764770 https://aussie.zone/post/20646025
What a cowardly response. "What would you do?" As if Australia has no links to Israel, trade or otherwise.
What a cowardly response
Well yes you just have to look at what the Australian Jewish comminty representatives said about The Greens before and after the election to understand why.
