A community for sharing astronmy-related news, content, research, photographs, etc.
When sharing photographs and articles, please make an effort to include source URLs.
I'm glad to see people finding interesting and beautiful things to post, I just don't understand copying content and not sharing the link. Copying to me results in a quick "that's pretty". Sharing the link helps the creator and anyone new that wants to learn more about the content (and in this case could be introduced to the picture of the day). It's such a small amount of work from the poster so that every single person that sees it can get a little more out of it.
Mostly though, I just don't understand why you attributed those involved so well (far above what I expected from anyone, even taking the time to format links and look them up) but didn't do a quick copy paste of where you saw it. I'm not even trying to have a dig at your behaviour here, it's just something I don't relate to.
I hope you keep posting, I just think the link adds a lot and helps avoid things like CG.
I've been pasting the link to the highest resolution of a given APOD image in the URL of the post so that people don't have to leave Lemmy to view or save the image. Would it work if the body of the post only said, Source?
Could you please demonstrate the post you would have made? It's not clear to me what you think should be included.
