It’s strange, I downloaded a gif to my photo and selected it as an image for a Memmy post. The post worked and was upvoted so others must see it. But the actual gif is not visible on Memmy. The gif does play on a mobile browser though.
I want to try posting a direct link to a gif and see what it looks like. Can you see the gif below?
It looks like you need to use the format:
such as: 
So far it seems that the admins will make posts when they’re considering new ones. I think the need for committed moderators may be the challenge for adding new ones. You could always find a community on a different Lemmy instance or create a community on an instance that has that enabled.
(a mushroom!)
I agree, I would rather see the community on the left with the instance in smaller/non-bold text below it, and user to the right without the instance of the user until you click the post.
I had an ex-gf that would sit down for showers when possible, and sometimes fall asleep lol
My wife says I’m cheap, but idk. I’m not buying it
Thank you. It’s not a common acronym; I just didn’t see a way I wanted to shorten it haha.
Outside of this post with the link, people that search “addiction” would probably see the community. I posted essentially this same post in other instances’ chat communities, and made sure this new community was discoverable by lemmy.world, beehaw.org, vlemmy.net, lemmy.one, and kbin.social. I also asked that the mental health community lists this as a “related community.”
I have been trying to upload a banner image and receiving the same JSON syntax error message. I tried on mobile and desktop browsers without success.
edit: alright so uploading an image from the Photos app works, just not from Files

I found beehaw first, so I started there but then discovered that the admins manage the community creation there. So I made a new account on lemmy.world to mod that, and most browsed with my beehaw account. But then beehaw needed to de-federate from lemmy.world, so I made a vLemmy and lemmy.one accounts so I could interact with both beehaw and lemmy.world.
tl;dr As someone else mentioned, finding a smaller, low-profile instance to have your home account but interacting with other instances seems to be the best approach

I always love having more icon options. If I’m being honest, I think the placement of the ears should move so that it looks less like a ram. But I do like that it’s a different angle than all of the the straight-on icons.
Such a valid point; success should not be measured only in dollars. I began explaining the basics of the Fediverse with some of my friends and the first question they asked was, “How do people even make money on there then?” It’s a bit disheartening to see how money-driven things are for some people.
