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 ❤️

    I do enjoy the albums, they give a better sense of how the model does really look like. Some pictures are just better / more my taste than others.

    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.
