/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

At a technical level it is totally possible. You just make the URL resolve to a different image each time.

I'm not sure it would be appreciated by the mods

(Wouldn't work anyway, due to Lemmy's caching approach iirc)

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It should as Lemmy will pull any image that is linked in the markdown.

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

But doesn't the instance it is ~~delicious~~ (edit: FUCK AUTOCORRECT!) delivered to do that, and then if the image changes later, it wouldn't update? And then I thought further that people from other instances likewise pull from the host instance, rather than the original source.

Except maybe Lemmy.world, if the image caching was added in a more recent update, which I thought was the case?

Anyway, I'm not saying that any of this happens, only that I thought it might.

Just hot link the image to a host that you have control of instead of uploading it to lemmy. Then you can change the image anytime you like and it won't be affected by any caching on lemmy.

Oh, does image caching not apply to remotely hosted content? Well, then yeah, that sounds good.

[–] SatyrSack@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That is what I have noticed. When I use Catbox, the exact Catbox URL appears on every instance. But when I upload directly to my instance, federated posts use their own cached image instead of the one from my instance.

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 1 points 2 weeks ago

Interesting... thank you for sharing!

It seems caching doesn't do much, even while also being a big pain for instance admins - so much so that it is explicitly made voluntary.

Perhaps that is why PieFed is going so hard on integration with PixelFed and now Loops.
