@Nath thanks. I seem to have done the thing that caused it to break before. Could you create more comments or a post in this Lemmy community?

@jimcullen@pixelfed.au @localtesting wait so that showed up...what was it that I did in Brisbane a while back, then?

@localtesting hey @Zagorath and @RebekahWSD and anyone else who might see this, could you guys comment under this post? And then again in a while after I've tried some pixelfed stuff?

@grue no mention of me being banned in the modlog that I can see, and it still shows as me following when I view it

@australia (the protest pictured here is a different one to the one that BCC and QPS lied to get blocked. A weekend march through the CBD streets that make up the official detour. Instead of the originally-planned peak-hour block of the Story Bridge)

@australia they lied to the press and public by claiming the protests are linked to the Greens, that they're related to Extinction Rebellion, and that they're illegal. None are true. Every protest has gone through the accepted process of declaring intent. Instead, BCC & QPS have wasted their resources fighting the protests in court with multiple expensive Silks, against the self-repped organisers. And they lie, inventing nonsensical security risks, in order to get the court to block the protest.

@australia they claim it's impossible to close a lane because one lane wouldn't be wide enough, so they would need two. If that were true, then fine; the answer is to do that, close two lanes. There'd still be 4 for cars. But it's not true. In fact, while the pedestrian paths on the bridge are wider than what would be left of one lane after water-filled safety barriers are installed, the paths on the on-ramps up to the bridge are *already* narrower than that.

@australia there have been a series of lies from our Lord Mayor and his council over this. Starting by blaming the pedestrian path closure on ex-cyclone Alfred, and then saying they needed a couple of days for inspections before it could be opened. We know now that the closure had nothing to do with Alfred, and was in fact damage that they've known about since at least 2016.

We haven't been given any timeline for when it will reopen, so our best guess is not until next year.

@australia sorry, I tried posting this to the Brisbane community, but for some reason that has failed to federate to my Mastodon instance since May. I wonder if somehow my interacting with Pixelfed has somehow caused that? It was working fine until that point...

 

Protest to get Brisbane City Council to reallocate one lane of the Story Bridge as a pedestrian & cyclist shared path, while the dedicated paths are closed indefinitely for maintenance.

@brisbot would any of the regulars here be able to copy/paste that message into Lemmy for me?

[–] jimcullen@twit.social 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

@brisbot grr...dang federation. Seems comments from Pixelfed don't federate properly, and neither do edits to the post body. So my comment telling Lemmy users to click through to Pixelfed to see the other image in that post, or click the link to see the full collection from the day, didn't work: https://pixelfed.au/c/702260876992422191

What's considered best practice for multiple images on Pixelfed?

Hey #Pixelfed users, if I have a bunch of images from an event I'd like to share, what's the best way? One post per image? Group images into themes of 1–2? All images in as few posts (max 8 per post on my instance) as possible?

Also, does anyone know how to get them to show up in a Lemmy community, or what that'll look like? How do "Collections" factor into it? @pixelfed

City Hall will be lit Purple and Gold to celebrate a wedding

I had to Google who they were because I figured they were celebrities I wasn't familiar with. Turns out, they're just two people. I guess anyone can pay/apply to get BCC landmarks lit up for them.
