Cake day: June 16th, 2023

Title. I post a few links a day here on Beehaw, and I like to try and highlight the source of the article in the title. My thinking is that if someone scrolls past quickly without reading deeply, they will at least see the name of the publication and that is a small bit of grassroots advertising. I tend to post articles from smaller indie publications, so I want to do whatever I can to signal boost them.

Is this dumb? Is it annoying in some way? I know on web and on most apps, the URL is visible on the post, but i’m not sure everyone scrutinizes posts as closely as I do. IDK, just wanted to bring it up with the community and hear your thoughts.

this is a minor, super low-priority request!

I like using the built-in beemojis. On desktop, they are easy-to-use and they show up in-line like any other emoji. However, on mobile, the beemojis are impossible to access, and when i see them in comments, they expand to their actual size:

Now, the access to the beemojis may be specific to my lemmy app (Sync), so that might be an unsolvable problem. But the sizing issue seems like it is related to the way beehaw implements the custom emojis, so I am wondering if that is a quick fix. It seems like they are just a set of image files stored on the server, and so using the emojis is just pasting a link to one of these image files. Is there a way for beehaw admin to set like a “max width” or something that might make the beemojis look better on mobile?
