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.

Suddenly every comic post I’ve seen has source links included now!

Maybe it was already a more common practice than I realized, but it sure looks like the fediverse hivemind took my simple bit of feedback to heart and promptly began acting accordingly. I love it here 🥰
