“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style work from around the world is also welcome!

* BD = "Bandes dessinées"
* BDT = Bedetheque
* GN = graphic novel
* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = "Ligne claire"

Three older Imgur-based posts have been restored (see below), and QUESTION-- would you prefer to see news roundups like this, announcing fixed-up posts, or should I simply republish those posts? (lemm.ee)

The most significant one is Dad-bod Thoth, as I managed to track down the other eight images in that booklet, sourced to BDT. (check it out, Druillet fans!) The other reconstructed posts are my reviews of Alas and Esther Verkest, and I must admit, I enjoyed hosting the image content on Reddit itself. (thanks, spez 😊)

Enjoy.

Oh yeah, and as for my question to y'all, let me explain:

On my end, I'm not a huge fan of republishing fixed-up posts, as it 1) adds to the overall post bloat (Lemmy doesn't allow me to completely delete anything), but also 2) because it can break cross-links in some cases.

OTOH, the greater point is for this stuff to be seen and enjoyed, and with a relatively innocuous update like this, I would guess that many readers doing quick scroll-throughs would miss the good content, assuming they hadn't seen it before. Then again, maybe I'm wrong about that...

Any opinions?

*Ach*, lo siento, Sergio! Me perdí o me olvidé de este comentario.

I know you had a reason for not uploading images to lemmy… what was it again?

the image limit here is 500k last I checked, and 2) such pics hosted here tend to be served a bit tardily, given my testing across platform, 3) my working 'philosophy' upon joining this lovely instance has traditionally been to "not overload it" in any way, shape, or kind, for example in hosted content. (I do suspect I'm overthinking that last part, tho)

If you can see the image above then you can host images there, since this comes from a pixelfed post. I’m not sure if that’s the “right” way to do it, you might want to look into it a bit more.

Maybe DM the person who made this post: https://slrpnk.net/post/17174541 or this post: https://slrpnk.net/post/17740979

Thanks, compa!
So, the main issue on my end is the quandary of how long an image might last at 'place X.'

Know what I mean? Like, there are many places across the 'Net, gladly willing to host images, but then equally quick to either disappear or just delete such content. That's the danger, where something looks brilliant at first glance, then turns out to be flaky as hell, so to speak.

Meanwhile, for whatever reason I had the impression that Imgur might do better at that stuff, as somehow I still have 10yr-old content hosted there! Yet at the same time, they've blanket-deleted many of my 6mo-old posts across a variety of subjects. :S

Indeed, I kinda feel like... Imgur operates via a certain 'formula,' and if I can just figure that out precisely, then we'll be back to long-term storage solutions. XD

Bah... let's see how things shake out... (eh, my current, working idea is to try hosting big images at LW)

Yeah I never had to think about it too much. Good luck, tho!
