I know upvotes means nothing on Lemmy EDIT: I have re-hosted the meme. Maybe how I have been posting the memes is preventing interaction. I hope you enjoy.

First, why do you post through imgur instead of directly linking the image and maybe the memes are meh if they consistently get that reception?
As far as I remember lemme.ee doesn't want to host images due to idiots posting CSAM. On mobile the imgur links I post show up flawlessly, what's the issue?
I'm not asking this with snark, I don't get what the problem is.
Edit: if the memes are meh that's intentional, as they are "antique". In my mind that means more than 5-8 years old and not really relevant anymore. In that category I'm posting antique gold, once again, IMO.
I told you what the problem is.
Great. Thanks for elaborating. Very helpful.
I told you the problems, you just choose to argue instead of listening.
Am I arguing or asking questions? Edit: to clarify my question: the only links I get from imgur, including "direct links" is exactly what I'm posting. If it would be better to download the meme again, upload it elsewhere, and then post that link, let me know.
Where are the questions here?
That was the question directly under your post before you said nothing of substance.
I’m on mobile, this is how it shows up.
Someone else pointed this out in the comments here.
Does this sort of interaction usually work for you?
In the end they figured out the problem and corrected it.
It would have been easier if they just recognized what I was saying right away instead of trying to argue about it.
They asked you for clarification, your statement isn’t nearly as clear as you think it is nor does it answer their valid question about what you said.
Someone else in the thread actually engaged the person in good faith and that’s how they corrected it.
Thanks for your input, it was enlightening.
