  • I recently moved to a new area and got a card in the mail telling me my polling place. On election day I showed up and found out three districts use that building.

    So I asked the volunteer which district I was in. He asked for my address, then said, “I don’t know where that is”. K thx, buddy. Then he whipped out a 20 year outdated paper map and asked me to find my house. The street wasn’t even there! After finally stepping out of line (and some exasperated groans of relief behind me) I did 15 minutes of frantic googling to find my district. Then I had to go to the back of the line and wait again.

    I was lucky I had the day off work for all that nonsense. Most people don’t have that luxury.






  • Is there a way to have the gif automatically play?

    Depends on how you’re browsing lemmy - I’m on liftoff and they auto play. Maybe check your app’s settings?

    Also, is there a way to add a gif from a keyboard app like GIPHY?

    Afaik Lemmy’s markdown is text only, so you’ll have to get the url from your app. I can’t get it for my phone, but there might be a long tap then “view in browser” or “get url” option like I have on their website.
