I could ask for nothing more.
I honestly wouldn't have bothered commenting if not to reply to this, but since this was there, I'll add that there is something one could ask for: alt text/transcription, for the sake of accessibility for blind and visually impaired users. It's something I see a lot more on Lemmy than I ever did on Reddit, but we could still be a lot better at it. I always try to do it with my own image posts, and often on images in comments, but unfortunately a couple of the most prolific posters of text-based images rarely do it.
