Also, are there Lemmy frontends that don’t screw up the order of uploads? The perfectionist in me just screams, but doing it one by one is blah.

Should I even be posting albums in the first place? I sorta like the curation aspect more than just firing off individual pictures, but I don’t know how the audience feels about this 😁 Feedback welcome!

    I think gallery format is great, as long as it’s labeled as a gallery… Otherwise it’s too easy to overlook. Appreciate the posts!

      Always nice to hear people enjoy my curation service ❤️

      But yeah, lately I’ve just started including the number of pictures in the title, but hmm… since I’m writing it as [nnn pics. Studio] that gets turned into a tag in the Photon web UI at least, but having titles like “Nekane is a joy [album] (19 pics) [Wowgirls]” to make full use of Photon’s tags looks a bit clunky. Ah well, let’s see 😀

              Fair 😀 And thank you for the frontend!

              Oh speaking of, do you have plans for allowing uploads of multiple images at the same time? That’d make it easier to do gallery posts – right now I use lemmy-ui for posting (even though its multifile uploads are a bit funky and they end up in the wrong order in the markdown) and Photon for browsing.

                  I looked at lemmy-ui’s source yesterday and I noticed it limits concurrent uploads to 4 at a time, so I guess that could be a good tactic for you as well?

                  Just make sure you don’t wire each file upload’s completion handler straight to outputting the ![](...) markdown like lemmy-ui does 😀 Having the images in the post / comment be in the same order as they were in the file picker would be much nicer than having them end up in the order they complete in.

                  Thanks again ❤️
