Edit: I was searching for a “meta” community, since this is a post on Lemmy about current Lemmy limitations… But it turns out that this might very well be off topic. I apologise if it is the case… I would gladly take suggestions on what community would be best for this post, BTW.
Got it! “NSFW” test
Like this:
::: spoiler NSFW  :::Replace “NSFW” with any text.
BTW better for somebody to click than get fired for an inline display image of some tig ole bitties. And mod removed your image in the meantime 😇
Edit: but if an entire thread is already NSFW (meaning that acronym is in the thread title), then fire away on the Photoshopped world leaders no matter what their state of undress! Almost certain that’s fine etiquette
I know of the spoiler feature, however it doesn’t work on all clients.
For example, on my client, I can immediately (without clicking/tapping) see ‘:::’, followed by: spoiler Got it! “NSFW” test, the image, and finally, ‘:::’. (It is without the single quotes, I added them for being explicit).
Point is, aside from having a convention (like having “NSFW” anywhere in the image alternate text) where images are tagged NSFW, or a proper spoiler tag that is easy to parse and works everywhere (this one doesn’t), I don’t see how this can work.
Yeah, the modlog says “NSFW. Next time use the spoiler tag or post a link.”
That is ignoring that a spoiler tag will simply not work on most clients… But sure, let’s pretend.
Edit: now there’s a spoiler. Let’s see if it works… 🤞
Voyager for Lemmy iOS just updated to support them at least! Progress.
