This is a long one. I hope Lemmy can display it properly.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Damn, that looks terrible.
Can’t wait for the day that Lemmy starts supporting multi image posts. 🙄
It looks fine on Voyager
You can insert as many inline images in a post as you want. You can even do so if the main "headline" content of your post is an image, or a link (unlike reddit).
It doesn't give you a left-to-right swiper, but readers can just scroll through whatever it is you've posted vertically, in the order you specify.
I tried that a while back. It seemed to work on most devices, not so great on web and not everybody enjoyed the overall “experience”.

So…. To be continued, I suppose.
I suppose the types of images we habitually post are a bit different in both intent and shape.
There seems to be a maximum vertical height automatically applied to inline images. So if you've got something tall that also includes text (like yours does) it may wind up illegible. I run into this with the Owl House strips frequently posted here. Since I'm a desktop nerd, I just right click and open the image in a new tab, then do with it what I will.
The stupid but effective solution would be to split each horizontal row of panels into separate images and post them sequentially. That's a lot of extra work, though.
