Image uploads to PF-- what size should I be aiming for..? (piefed.social)
 

So-- I would love nothing better than to host every image on Imgur and call it a day, except that Imgur is just *lol* with that business. I.e., in some cases, I have stuff that's been there for ~10yrs with no issue, and then there's a bunch of other stuff that routinely gets deleted after 3-4mos or so.

Not trying to ramble here, but my concern is that I don't want to weigh down our host, and instead want to find the 'right pocket,' i.e. a good-size image file that let's me show off our image content, but isn't a burden upon our host.

Plus of course, sometimes showing off a certain series requires ~10 images or so, meaning the image-serving requirements are 10x the nominal requirement.

In cases like that, I have no problem uploading such content to Imgur, even if it's not going to last long, but... I kinda want to figure out how I should handle these things, if that makes sense...

Thank you for any and all advice.

Danke, mein Freund, and we seem to have some similar traits & interests. I've subscribed to your "Demos" community, and hope I can maybe contribute in future. ๐Ÿค“

Okay, what think about it now?

I've put the link in the banner / description, as well as added it to the stickied 'move post.'

There is indeed such a post (as you should be able to see?), but the link is in the body of the post (several times), not as a direct hotlink.

The issue I've always had with the standard Lemmy software is that it allows either a hotlink or an image in the 'URL' field, but not both. Take a look if you have a minute and let me know what you think, please?

Ruh-roh. Does lemmy.cafe have a content migration feature as well?

With much thanks to PF's site-runner, as well as good advice from @[email protected], we've successfully moved!

NEW ADDRESS:
https://piefed.social/c/eurographicnovels
OLD ADDRESS:
https://lemm.ee/c/eurographicnovels

On the positive tip, we were able to preserve ~390 out of ~550 historical posts, so that's better than starting over. On a more sobering side, it looks like we're going to lose most of our (current) ~1,260 subscribers, and PieFed being a different instance, running different software, it's not clear to me if we're going to get the same exposure to "ALL" streams that we once enjoyed.

While it's true that I can invite individual members to join, it seems that (unlike PF), the Lemmy software doesn't allow me to see a list of subscribers, even as the founder and head mod. If anyone has any ideas on that, feel free to advise...

In any case, I hope you find something you might like at our (now smaller ๐Ÿ˜…) community / sub-lemmy.

Haha, nice. Boucq is such a wacky creator.

I did happen to read this book, and found it pretty good. IMO it dragged somewhat with too much speech at times, but I found the basic scenarios quite inventive(!)

Btw, there are also three prior posts here:

Thanks for posting this, and please be patient with the upvotes. They'll come as our subscribers' list slowly regrows...

Wonderful piece. Thanks PugJesus for the great find, and info!

Adding on, this seems to be some art By Giuseppe Rava titled: "Legio II Augusta's fortress life at Rutupiae"

When using the 'migrate tool,' I don't seem to be seeing a 'closing message' as I'd hoped, but maybe the form isn't set up to give me one? Eh, whatever. So then, here's an extra confirmation attempt to make it clear that I'm asking PF to migrate my classic Lemm.ee community over to PF, as follows:

https://lemm.ee/c/eurographicnovels
wants to turn in to:
https://piefed.social/c/eurographicnovels

With the specific request post being here:

Thanks for any and all help getting it sorted, <3

Hey-yo, just trying to see if I can link your other account, followed by hopefully replying to it from my new PieFed ID:
