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!

    Nice album.

    On your order question, I only have experience with using the web interface for uploading. For pictures in the post body, I would hence manually add each link in the order I would want them to be in. The formatting used for each would be like

    ![](direct link to photo file)

    With empty lines in between to get them underneath one another (without which they partially get placed side-by-side).

      Oh yes I know how to upload things one by one, it’s just more of a pain in the ass compared to just going Select All in a directory so I mostly don’t bother doing it 😅 But thank you for the suggestion in any case, appreciate it.

      I usually tend to not split the pictures into paragraphs specifically so that they’ll get laid out horizontally too on anything with a wide enough screen, but I dunno if that’s the best way to present them really. Would you feel having them one by one would look better?

        I am kind of ambivalent to whether the photos get side by side or not, as long as they load fine on mobile devices (I suppose they do but I tend to use the web version on a bigger screen most of the time). Especially with larger amount of photos, (partial) side-by-side placement probably is superior to one-after-another. But I felt like mentioning what I did, just in case.
