This is a bit of an experiment. Someone was asking me to post in a different way and I was not wild about it but im sorta wondering how a link directly the the comic image itself will come up.

    It works fine!

    But I would add an explicit link to the source page as well - for maximum friendliness to the OC and also to aid people who want to learn more about them and their work.

    So like this could work:

    - source

      no I was doing that but it was not showing the picture in feeds and someone liked that. I mean its not hard to go from the picture link to the main page. its gonna be hard to please everyone.

        Why not do both?

        Sorry if this comes across as me picking on anything you are doing - you asked how it’s working so I am commenting more freely with my thoughts here than I otherwise would have.

        The picture shows the content without someone needing to click, but the link provides attribution for things where that matters more - like not memes but comics in particular, or artwork that people could purchase.

        Here’s an example where I recently did both: https://piefed.social/post/370988#comment_3945627. Do as you please ofc, I just offered in case it might help.

          I get it now but this goes back to why I did not want to do the original suggestion of downloading and uploading the file. I really just want to copy the url and put it in or do something with that few of clicks and no screwing around with formatting for appearance and url to appear seperate and such.
