YSK: Transparent images can look great on Lemmy

Why YSK: Transparent background images often don’t look very nice on Reddit, but they can be quite sleek over here. For some examples just look at the profile pictures of mod list for this community on the sidebar. They also work well for communities. Be careful to pick colors that aren’t too dark or too light, and which contrast well with your community’s banner.

Looks pretty crisp on dark mode at these dimensions. I wonder if it’s enough contrast at a much smaller size.

Edit: I know there's probably isn't the place, but is there a good alternative to imgur since last I knew reddit owned it.

Reddit owns Imgur? Can’t find anything online about that

Thank you I've been using imgur for many, many many years and never even looked for a different site or had a reason to.

ShittyKopper,

If reddit owned imgur they wouldn’t operate i.redd.it
