Tips for using Lemmy (self.feddituk)

While doing bits of setup over the last day, I've had to search to work out a couple of things. I thought this might be a good place for people to post up other tips and gotchas.

Avatars and Icons: Currently, non-square images are squished to fit in spaces. Cropping or blankspacing can improve the way things display.

Adding mods: To add an additional mod to a community, currently they need to comment on a thread in that community. From there, an existing mod can click the 3 dots menu next to their comment, and add them as a moderator.

I've been trying to post a picture and every time I preview it, the picture within the post is turning sideways. No matter how many times I try rotating it, saving it and re-uploading it to the post, it's still sideways. What am I doing wrong?

Maybe the picture has (or hasn't) got rotational metadata built in? It's possible Lemmy doesn't handle rotational properly. Post it in this thread if you like.

I managed to figure it out, sort of. I uploaded the image into the 'URL' bar rather than trying to attach it within the body of the post. That seemed to give the correct orientation.
