If you've ever thought about posting on !gothindustrial@lemmy.world, now's your chance! Make a post leading up to the 1,000th post, or make the kilopost yourself!!?!
Music, memes, videos, art, opinions, comics, etc. related to "Industrial, Goth, EBM, Darkwave, Coldwave, Horror Punk, Aggrotech, Noise; Treating the labels with very broad strokes" are all welcome!
(Technical Note: your community may have a different number for how many posts are on this community... like on piefed.social it only says "542 posts" because piefed.social didn't exist when the first couple hundred posts were made on !gothindustrial@lemmy.world ... but on https://lemmy.world/c/gothindustrial this is post number 993!)
I've been maining piefed.social... tho I still use my lemmy.world account for a couple different types of posts I make:
but for single-image posts, text posts, or most posts that are principally a link, it's great.
Why posts with multiple images?
I've never had any problems with multiple images. Or comments including images or video thumbnails though there often is some weird fuckery going on when you get your YouTube links from YouTube music. The links do not work but if you find the exact same thing on regular YouTube it works perfectly
Cross posting works better for me from piefed than anywhere else.
I guess I should specify: posts with multiple images, when I need to upload the images (e.g. memes I made, or comics files I edited) to the server. lemmy lets you upload the image while you're authoring the post text, but in piefed you have to do the extra step of finding a place to host it and manually adding the link.
cross-posting on piefed - if I have a post that I or someone else made, and I want to cross-post it to another community, I don't see any obvious button/dropdown... tho I'm eager to learn where it is so I can use it...
youtube thumbnails look great in the piefed client, but are inconsistent depending on what client people use. For example, your recent post on Tolerate by Assemblage 23 looks great on piefed, but if you look at https://lemmy.world/c/gothindustrial with a web client there's no thumbnail. I read that there's a fix but it's not distributed universally, e.g. the thumbnail works on https://slrpnk.net/c/gothindustrial@lemmy.world because slrkpnk.net installed the patch but lemmy.world is more cautious about what patches it applies, and it's the largest instance. (EDIT: so what I do is, I post on lemmy.world, which lets you upload your own custom thumbnails. those custom thumbnails are only visible on lemmy.world tho! but it solves the problem of youtube thumbnails for lemmy.world, and many of the other clients get a thumbnail on their own.)
I think it's also difficult to see the markdown source of someone else's post on piefed, whereas on lemmy there's a button to show it.
btw I still really like piefed, it's my main account these days.
Oh, I see. Yes, I don't generally post a lot of images that way just linking off the web. Explains why I haven't necessarily run into it.
The tiny CD repeat icon below a post when you click into it is the cross post button.It's very easy to miss.
I hadn't noticed it, but you're right about the link not working under Lemmy. I'll have to keep an eye out for the patch to get applied. It's not a big thing for me. I absolutely understand and respect the dot world administration style. I my self arch my desktop, but debian or BSD my servers.
very interesting... looks like that cross-post icon shows up for me on bandcamp and youtube link posts, but not on image or discussion posts (on the few samples I looked at). a quick search suggests that piefed cross-posting is something that's being actively worked on.
interesting and good to know. I guess I stand corrected π
