I use IMGBB, been using it for my Friendica as it gives convenient cut and paste BB Code which Friendica can parse. I did test Kbin and found it parses the HTML code they offer… Or at least did when I was testing, let’s see, does this work?

I quite like Friendica for the purpose, venera.social I believe is one of the founding instances.

DC is a bit of an oddity, it’s not a state, so there’s no governor to deploy the guard, plus much of their governance has to be approved by Congress, this is part of the reason that there’s a push for DC statehood, residents are getting tired of this mess.

The UX, the other is…

…inline images, assuming that still works. I store my images on IMGBB which gives copy and paste code for the images, and this works here but not on Lemmy.

I’ve tried it a couple times, it’s neat, lots of features, but that makes it a bit confusing. I’ve also had trouble finding a stable English speaking general purpose server that’s reliable, all the one’s I used were down more than they were up. You might want to look at Calkey or whatever they’re calling it now, that’s an active fork.

@lusterko I’ve had luck with inline images using code from IMGBB where I store my pics:

Though I will say going back, they seem to have broken, so we’ll seen if’n this even works now.
Code:

<a href=“https://ibb.co/G5QH0N4”><img src=“https://i.ibb.co/G5QH0N4/IMG-20221031-134657.jpg” alt=“IMG-20221031-134657” border=“0”></a>

This sounds familiar, I’m kinda the same way, I describe m’self as male as I happen to be that way, but if’n it changed tomorrow? Sure, why not, in fact several of my online characters are intersex, specifically the ones that I would be most happy becoming.
Yep, the ones that feel most right are a little from column A and a little from column B.
When it comes to sexuality, I’ve given up trying to figure that out, and simply refer to m’self as queer, since I think that and my gender are a bit mercurial, so an umbrella term that basically means not ‘normal’/traditional/standard seems best.

Best I could say is do what makes you happy, and be patient, it’s a journey, sometimes one without an end, sometimes with, so just explore and enjoy.

Definitely over stepping. Sure, if’n the lunch was nothing but junk food, I could maybe understand this, but from the sound of it, this is the only treat, and it’s not too bad.
