This is pretty new. They gave me a popup when they added it a couple months ago.

This isn’t iOS, despite what the post description says.

It’s certainly not an iPhone - iPhone alerts have never look like that, and that isn’t the stock calculator app.

They do, actually. Eligible creators (basically you have to live in the US, be over 18 and have made at least 100 karma in the last 12 months) can claim 33% of the money spent on the gold.

Please don’t just say “no” to a question without actually doing research. Disliking a platform isn’t a reason to spread misinformation about it.

You get $0.90 per gold - the fancier golden upvotes are worth multiple gold, with the most expensive one being worth 25 gold. So the post creator can claim 33% back

[–] sjmarf 4 points 10 months ago

Theoretically, yes. Supposedly (If you live in the US) you can cash out $0.90 for every ‘gold’ you receive. In the image, the leftmost golden upvote is worth one ‘gold’, and the rightmost is worth 25. This means that one gold is bought for $2.69, so the post creator can claim 33% of that money back if they are eligible. https://www.reddit.com/contributor-program

This isn’t entirely true, according the article. If a producer in the US was using the name “Champagne” before 2005, they can continue to do so, but producers can’t start using it anymore.

It took two decades of negotiations, but finally, in 2005, the U.S. and the EU reached an agreement. In exchange for easing trade restrictions on wine, the American government agreed that California Champagne, Chablis, Sherry and a half-dozen other ‘semi-generic’ names would no longer appear on domestic wine labels – that is unless a producer was already using one of those names.

There’s not an in-app key for it currently, no. Here’s what each of them mean:

  • Orange person outline - OP
  • Green shield - moderator (if the moderator chose to distinguish the comment)
  • Cyan crown - admin
  • Indigo >_ - bot
  • Purple hammer - Mlem developer
  • Red X - banned

That’s the joke. Also, we’re on Lemmyshitpost - it’s not meant to be high quality

Some people rely on ‘screen readers’ (software that reads text on the screen out loud when you move your finger over it) to browse content on Lemmy. Some screen readers can read text on images (I know Apple’s does, not sure about Android), but obviously it can make mistakes and there’s missing context a lot of the time. Hence the transcriptions.

There was a group of people on Reddit who added image transcriptions in the comments of posts but it was rarely seen in the post itself. I quite like that it’s been more popular on Lemmy. For inline images you can add hidden transcriptions using markdown, but for image posts it has to go in the body of the post.

There are also a couple of other benefits. The post is more likely to appear in search results if someone searches for text included in the transcription. And if the image fails to load for whatever reason, or the image host deletes it, you can get the gist from the transcription.
