Interesting. I think this makes sense. because there is a difference between a photo and a meme for example.
You probably don't want to mix both or have memes show up in a profile gallery.
How confusing do you think this is to a user? the fact that they have to distinguish the two as they post? or maybe its just inherently app dependent?
Probably different for each person what they’d want there. For me it would make total sense to have memes show in my profile gallery, as that’s primarily what I post, and probably what people are looking for if they open my gallery. But if I reply to someone else’s post with a gif or even a random meme, I don’t need that cluttering up my gallery. Or if I’m posting a screenshot of something like a settings page, or bitcoin price chart, or news headline, etc, with a text post the I also don’t want that in my gallery.
I think it would depend on how it’s presented in the UI whether it would be confusing or not. For instance, when composing a post, if you tap the image button there could be a toggle to make it an “image post” vs a “microblogging post” with a little explanation that images from microblogging posts/replies won’t show in your gallery. Seems easy enough.
On Plume I've taken a similar approach to how my images are displayed on my npub.pro page - the photo gallery displays images with the #photography hashtag only. It misses stuff and catches results which shouldn't be there occasionally, but it works. May add the other kind in there as well though, if there's sufficient reason to do so.
ha! I did the same! - also I just noticed that most of my photos are not loading lol
I just took a look at your page and yeah, loads of placeholders next to the photography hashtag - have they disappeared from wherever you were hosting them?
