I didn’t notice it until I saw the image as the big preview in my feed.

I’m kinda undecided, on the one hand the message is clear, on the other hand this should do no harm and the artist is cited properly.

Seems so :D

So I’m not the only one who thought “wait a second, you seem familiar but at the same time not”.

I agree that most voters just vote from their feed without opening the post (this is also how I view content here). That is why I am surprised that the counter is much higher that the votes, as I expected the opposite (+ counts from instance auto caches). Then again, there might also a number of crawlers which consume posts on the Fediverse.

Regarding fedia: I too suspect the same issue as with Piefed. I wrote a post in the support community of fedia.io and mentioned one of the Mbin devs.
Also it seems that I hopefully don’t have to edit the post after its creation in the future anymore, as there is a PR for Mbin which will enable image-uploads + body via the API (currently the API is quite odd that a thread can be created with either a image or a body, but not both with the same request).

Thanks for the analysis. The caching of Lemmy might explain the jump of the counter a bit after the post went online.

Regarding Mbin: this is very odd. I myself am in Mbin (kbin.earth) and see the post body. Fedia.io seems to have an issue with it. But when I open a different post of mine on fedia.io, the body is displayed.

I might do another experiment with such counters later. As the counter is much higher than the interaction (likes + dislikes), I want to find out if really so many people opened the post or if frontends showed it for users which just scrolled through their feed.
To do that I will add a counter in a comment and at the top and bottom of a post body.

Thx.
(not as in “I’m the artist” but as in “for linking my choice”)

awwwww

I’m pretty sure it isn’t. The first image of this artist on Pixiv are from 2019. An the left leg is behind the fire.

Damn, Zhvo impresses every time.

It is the octet-stream link again (but Lemmy can load it as a thumb).

The fellowship is growing; good. May the Church of Thighentology flourish.

This is beautiful.

And what if they ask pretty nicely 👉👈

I checked and it is the same image, uploaded with a wrong name.

Catbox (as far as I have observed it) deduplicates by hash. So when the same file (contentwise, the name is ignored) is uploaded, then it will not store it and simply return the link of the first upload. A (not duplicate) upload saves the filename and type.

So I think what happened here is that someone in the past uploaded the image, but their file ended with .bin. So Catbox gave you that link which serves the file with metainfo that the name is <something>.bin.
(I can check it if you want if you send me the old link.)

Ah, thank you for the context.

To be honest, I have no knowledge about the VTuber scene. I just search pretty pictures which fit in here (title is from original post).

Sorry, but my brain is not rotten enough to understand this sentence.

Looks good. Happy for you the commission went so well.
