I post on !animefeet@ani.social.
Nothing new here.
In case you’re not kidding… We are four days away from the third of september. The other way to represent a date.
That said this was posted on pixiv on march 9th .

You can also crosspost from a small community, to bigger ones with overlapping content. That gets a subset of people from the big community to check out where the post came from.

I’m stick to my subscribed feed pretty much, which has meant I’ve missed stuff.
You can leave a comment with community mentions, and I’ll edit the post when I get to it.

You’re still cropping it. Don’t. You’re damaging the one way people actually use to find out where an image originated. It’s also the one way that survives no matter what happens to the file format or metadata.
Metadata will be lost whenever the file is hosted, proxied, thumbnailed, screenshoted or whatever. And because the internet in general aggressively strips this stuff, no-one really cares online unless the site is specifically about image organizing.
Instead it’s an organization tool mostly used for local image archives. The people who would think to look at metadata are a fraction of a fraction, and the same ones who would think to add it when it isn’t there for future reference.
Even though I use it myself for my local files, I’m not bothering to implement that for a bot whose main goal is to maintain LEMMY activity, and whose secondary goal is to drive clicks to the artists actual socials TODAY. Adding such metadata to my online posts has never, ever crossed my mind as potentially useful.
Especially on the fediverse, many instances don’t even serve the original url, but will insert a stripped and re-hosted proxy copy, for security reasons. Or a thumbnailed smaller file, for speed.
This metadata doesn’t live long once a file is online.
Your upload didn’t retain any metadata. Its source is impossible to identify.
Mine has intact image data, and is thereby traceable.
Right. The links, title, and ensuring the image data is intact to preserve reverse-searchability (which your file destroyed, while failing to maintain the metadata when actually hosted) is wildly insufficient.
This is what your crop did:
My file:

Your file:

You mean not re-downloading the file to check what is actually getting served.

But why? Why would I do that?
Especially as literally no one ever looks at that on lemmy, and a fraction of the fraction of people who save the images do it.
Not to mention the poor survivability of such metadata when hosted, federated, proxied, thumbnailed, or worse, screenshotted.
If you want neatly organized files, I suggest writing a danbooru ripping script yourself.
Why would I bother to do that for you? As you’re essentially the sole case that would benefit.
Also why did you crop it?
Framing is not artistically arbitrary, and it damages the reverse-searchability.
Yeah.
Here is YOUR image.

What do you even mean?
Does this metadata show up in lemmy in some way I’m not aware of?
Edit: I downloaded your webp, and I still can’t see what you’re referring to. Did you use a filehost that doesn’t strip metadata to prevent stuff like accidentally doxxing yourself through the geotag?
I’ve definitely hit that pose. But not in a sexy way, more like a “desperately reaching for the phone charger without actually getting up off the sofa” kind of way.
Sorry but a strange magical girl already came in and purchased our entire stock (one Shamiko).














Mommy.
Sorry.
