Normalize including links with comics (lemmy.world)

One of the best features of Lemmy is that it supports a combination of image and text. I wish including the source link of a comic would be a standard practice on the fediverse, just like alt-text already is.

Source links are great for:

Properly crediting and driving traffic to artists
Checking authenticity
Preventing image degradation for re-shares

p.s. I was thinking of posting this as a meta-post in /c/comicstrips but I only saw guidelines for how to post comics there.

A couple of tools to help finding the original sources:

dessant/search-by-image: Browser extension for reverse image search
SauceNAO's "Image Search Options" addon: Firefox - Chrome
Reverse image search engine URLs (replace XXX with the image URL):
- Google: https://lens.google.com/uploadbyurl?url=XXXX
- Bing: https://www.bing.com/images/searchbyimage?cbir=sbi&imgurl=XXXX
- TinEye: https://www.tineye.com/search?url=XXXX
- Yandex: https://yandex.com/images/search?rpt=imageview&url=XXXX
- SauceNAO: https://saucenao.com/search.php?url=XXXX

Also, thanks to @[email protected] and @[email protected] for the mentions :).
