Hi all,

I want to start a photo community.

I'm trying to figure out the best place..

Mastadon?

Lemmy?

This will be a lot of (hopefully) high quality images. What is the best place for this?

What about pixelfed?

I'm a bit stumped!

Yes indeed, it's working now.

Don't worry, you should see the number of times I link directly from Alexandrite and it mangles the URL completely by doubling up the lemmy.world part of it...

Huh, I only know "alexexandrite" as a gemstone. Is there more to that story?

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's one of the available Lemmy user interface modes/modules/plugins/whatever-they-are. You can access it via lemmy.world with:

https://a.lemmy.world/

There are things I like about it better than the default desktop Lemmy UI, and a couple of things I don't like so much. However, I find that it barfs consistently less on uploading images inline in posts. Conversely, when viewing posts it is incapable of displaying embedded videos whereas the default UI (and probably the Tesseract UI) can.

Okay, thanks, and... no thanks!

I don't need that shizzle upon my Smartphone, ever...

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

FYI, it's not an app you install. It's just an alternate website to access Lemmy content.

This is probably irrelevant if you're using Piefeed, though, which it appears that you are. (Lemmy and Piefeed can talk to each other in a broad, but not 100% feature complete, manner.)

Thanks for explaining, and sorry about my grouchy reply, earlier. I was a bit toasted at that moment. :S
