Since Lemmy uses Markdown that supports HTML; it is possible to use Scalable Vector Graphics (with the <svg> tag).

It is possible to import SVG art on Lemmy, which isn't possible on Reddit.

As an example, here is a flag I made.
  • Yellow background represents liberty.
  • The magnifying glass is a symbol for information. It is horizontally aligned to represent the lack of bias.
  • The horns represent the idea of copyleft, supported by GNU.</dc:description> dc:subject rdf:Bag rdf:liinformation</rdf:li> rdf:lifree</rdf:li> rdf:lilibre</rdf:li> rdf:lignu</rdf:li> </rdf:Bag> </dc:subject> </cc:Work> <cc:License rdf:about="http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"> <cc:permits rdf:resource="http://creativecommons.org/ns#Reproduction"/> <cc:permits rdf:resource="http://creativecommons.org/ns#Distribution"/> <cc:permits rdf:resource="http://creativecommons.org/ns#DerivativeWorks"/> </cc:License> </rdf:RDF>

(The code can be previewed through an HTML viewer.)

scour may be needed to get the SVG art to work.

Thank you for the tip!

Side note, doesn't appear to work on mobile.

Probably on the app. I am using Jerboa and it is not displayed.
