  • I’m just starting out with AI images, here’s my entry. No, I haven’t figured out how to make larger images yet, my video card is struggling

    Theme suggestion: scenes from the Matrix universe

    Entry:

    Prompt:

    spoiler

    Positive prompt: a photo from ancient Egypt in a dimly lit temple with many hieroglyphics, Nefertiti, the queen of Egypt, is smirking at the viewer. Nefertiti is dressed in royal attire, which consists of a long, flowing fine linen gown adorned with gold and precious stones, skirtlift, no panties. Her hair is styled in an elaborate braided (updo:1.2), and she is wearing a headdress that is decorated with a cobra and vulture

  • 💯 - it’s not just in the communities you post in, it’s almost everywhere. Downvotes are increasing and engagement is decreasing. 3rd party clients will always support this, I think, so it may not even be possible to remove downvotes. I think I prefer the separate upvote/downvote count option, or make folks votes public like kbin.

    Side note: Do you know that active user count in lemmy is based on posts/comments rather than up/down votes?







  • That’s one of the use cases that’s not optimized yet, but there are others. Just some of the ones for desktop alone and there are more for each client:

    • gifs hosted on lemmynsfw require multiple click throughs on desktop
    • gifs hosted on redgifs or other external hosts have no thumbnail on desktop
    • gifs on redgifs open with the rest of the page (I don’t remember if reddit does that)

    Seeing as some clients have working examples of making this work, I personally believe it needs to be fixed in lemmy-ui. So I took a look and there are some open feature requests for video embedding but they don’t really cover your use case or the ones I listed but they are similar:

    https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1852

    https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1215

    https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/709

    I suspect that we (lemmynsfw users) are the ones that are most impacted by this issue and that it is unlikely to make it to the maintainers for a while. If we really wanted to fix it, someone could gather all the issues and make sure that we submit them all to lemmy ui.

    A quicker yet more difficult way may be to find out if any of the more open source clients figured out this issue and ask them what they did to fix it. Then try to find someone that could convert that code to whatever lemmy-ui is written in and submit it ourselves to the project. Or just send it to our admins to test it out.





  • Hey, there are two ways to post videos:

    1: In order to see the video as a thumbnail on the main page when you post it, you have to convert it to the .webp format first. There are some hosts like pornhub and redgifs that sometimes work, but I haven’t figured out why yet.

    I use screentogif (https://www.screentogif.com/) to convert the video to .webp, then I upload it to catbox.moe, copy the link, and put it into the URL field when creating a post. Note that this will remove any sound. I have some more info on settings for screentogif to make it less choppy but it’s really getting into the details. Let me know if you want me to post what works best for me.

    2: Just upload an .mp4 to catbox or redgifs and link to it from here. It will keep the sound but the thumbnail won’t show as a video.

    Right now, this is the best we have. Note that some mobile clients like Sync and Connect do a better job at this then on desktop. If you’re concerned about folks’ experience, it may be better than what you are seeing on desktop.
