I especially dig the confluence of federated architecture of Lemmy and the classic forum UI. I am still yet to see how it does replies within a forum thread; with regular lemmy UI, the replies are collected right below the post, and as a tree, getting deeper in levels as more replies come in. I guess with the BB-interface, the replies are kept track of by the reader via the ‘@’ -mentions? Let’s see.

    Let’s try some image uploads. I want to see if I can upload more than one image per post, and align them along the post: Hmm, I see no direct image upload is available to me. Is this a setting option that the Admin of the lemmyBB instance can toggle allowed?

    Anyways, here’s some memes:

    we've all been there right boys?

    whoa that’s a big image; I wish I could resize its proportions before posting. I guess I will have to download the image, resize it to a smaller resolution, upload it to an image sharing website, and use that link here the next time.

    Here’s some programmer humor:

    Let’s see if the html tag works for resizing images:

    <img src=“https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/d6446fc5-5104-4de4-849e-ba6c02b39c3c.jpeg” width=“200” height=“200” />

    It didn’t work for a webp image link. Let’s try the same with a jpeg image link:

    nope, didn’t work.

    so far, two minor bummers:

    1. can’t direct upload images (and thus already be able to resize them before I upload them)
    2. can’t resize the hyperlink’ed images either.
