Links from posts on Lemmy, for which there is a misleading thumbnail. — Friends
from other places: - /r/MisleadingThumbnails
[https://www.reddit.com/r/misleadingthumbnails/] — How to make a post? 1. For
the link, use the original image or website link from the other post 2. For the
title, describe what the subject of the thumbnail appears to be, and don’t
describe the full-size image in any way. 3. Add a link to the original post in
the post body or comments (to help people discover new content and communities)
— Detailed Description, based off the description from the subreddit: > A place
to share links that, when posted to Lemmy, generate a thumbnail that misleads
people into seeing something entirely different than what the full-size image
ends up being. This almost always occurs in an unexpected fashion, where
shrinking down an image to thumbnail-size suddenly creates an illusion one would
not have expected. Note that your particular front-end or app may cause the
illusion to be different! — Rules Please use the report button on posts that
don’t fit the theme! 1. Only post images where the Lemmy thumbnail creates a
unique optical illusion, causing the subject in the thumbnail to appear to be
something totally different from the subject in the full-size image. Some
content will be better off posted to different communities. 2. No images that
are essentially what you say they are. 3. No images that are intentionally set
up to mislead or intentionally designed to look like your post title. This
includes AI generated illusions. 4. Do not post images that are screenshots or
that have superimposed text. 5. No NSFW posts for now
I didn’t see a moderated community for this yet, so I thought I’d make one.
Pretty self-explanatory, but I can clarify details if needed!

Rules
The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World’s rules. You can click the link but we’ve reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn’t a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.
1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.
A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn’t rulebreaking and we can’t be supportive to them then we probably shouldn’t engage.
B. No illegal content.
C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.
D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.
E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.
2. Include a community or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.
Formatting
Please include this following format in your post:
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn’t get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn’t actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
