The End
Perfect!
This was fun, gave me the opportunity to mess around with the prompts to try to get close to what I was thinking in my head.
That is perfect!
It’s a really cool idea, thanks for starting it :)
Now we just have to get folks to make the next image! How about you? Where does this story go next?
I am new to Lemmy, can someone tell me how I get the image to actually display vs a link? I have tried to use the image button but it fails to load/host
Edit: resolved!
OP didn’t post an image, they posted a link to the page that hosts the image.
That’s me I am OP, but when I attempt to actually post an image it gives a syntax error. Any ideas?
My bad, sometimes I am blind to usernames.
Maybe it’s an issue with your instance?
And you are just clicking the little photo icon and selecting the file from your device and it just works? Is the image hosted in the instance then? In my case Lemm.ee?
In that post, I typed what that icon generates but used the image’s url on imgur.

If I click the icon and upload it, this happens:

Thanks, looks like that works, now I just have to figure how to get that into the original post!
I think you can edit the original post and change the url to be the imgur image’s url.

That was fun!
Hopefully we can get more collaborative posts, group challenges to make this community more interactive!
