Me, the one who set up the community, seeing my community here, realizing I'm doing a piss-poor job at publicity: https://i.imgur.com/BZNPOxb.jpg
I think I did pretty well reciting it from memory and swapping out the details.
The average person has shaved one ant, but only because Dr. Ant-Shaver Willot has shaved 7 Billion ants and therefore he should be dismissed as a statistical outlier.
We feel it's still too soon to make that choice but it's a possibility in the future.
I'm still learning transcription so feedback for what works and what doesn't will be helpful!
Pretty ironic that I gave what I thought was an exhaustive description only for someone to point out that I failed to spot something so obvious in hindsight.
Ah well, that's the price of trying to be specific with descriptions, I could have just said "It's a white horse and lots of people 's hands are up".
I'll append your observation to the text description.
It isn't personal preference, I'm trying to do what's best for my community, mobile and desktop users alike.
It wasn't the way images uploaded, it was more that kbin's image previews absolutely skullfucked the aspect ratio of anything that wasn't roughly in a 3:4 aspect ratio, making a bunch of deeply touching photos look like goofy funhouse mirrors.
We were like, "Shit.... Is.... Is this on purpose? Are the people behind kbin some kind of weirdos who believe in 3:4 aspect ratio supremacy??" so we thought, "Eh..... Maybe we'd better make a Lemmy too, in case kbin doesn't figure their shit out".
Because, honestly? Our faith in humanity was at an all-time low and we were running out of time before people began leaving reddit for new platforms. Throw everything against the wall and see what sticks, right?
I stole it from Tank Girl first, but I don't think she'd mind.
Oh damn, that's us!!
We'd wondered where the nearly 1.9k subscribers came from completely out of nowhere!
So, yeah, a lot of people are hating on us for creating one of Kbin and one on Lemmy, but we had our reasons: Basically, neither handled images very well and we saw that these two services did basically the same thing and that typically leads to the weaker project getting cancelled down the line, so we decided our safest bet was just to make one of each, just in case. Better safe than sorry.
We might consolidate them later, but for now just pick whichever you like best. :)
We didn't like how either handled images when we first signed up, and having been burned before? We decided to make two and maybe we'll consolidate them later.
We probably wouldn't delete it, just leave a link at the top explaining we've migrated and lock it so it isn't accepting new posts.
I wouldn't want someone who submitted a treasured photo and got a bunch of positive feedback to lose it forever in the name of ruthless efficiency.
