Hi all,

Very excited about the recent server upgrade! Just reporting some issues i'm seeing, no urgency or anything.

Recent thread for context

When I enter text into the new "Alt text" box, it doesn't seem to show up in the image metadata for other users.
Thumbnails seem to still be having issues, as stinky reported in the linked thread.

Acknowledging your report. I will look into what is going on with this.

Believe the pictrs thumbnail issue is fixed. Regarding the alt text, that's dependent on the front end to display. For the standard lemmy ui, on web browser at Beehaw.org, I see the alt text as your post body:

i replied in the other thread, but the alt text you are seeing in that screenshot was added by me manually. That is the text I typed in the "body" box, not the "alt text" box.

Noted thanks. Not sure what the lemmy inferno ui does with that apt text I'll have to look into the code.
