Ok Micro.Blog community. There are quite a few photo plugins these days. Which combination of, or one plugin is the best to use these days?

@timapple it’s a douglas adams reference

The number 42 is, in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything", calculated by an enormous supercomputer named Deep Thought over a period of 7.5 million years.

Wikipedia

it seems to be the only answer when it coes to your question because I too am at a loss on that one!

@timapple Not quite a plug-in, I think, but I am experimenting with using Google Photo's Album feature and creating links to a public album. Then I just insert the link into a post that might contain a few photos. Since my Pixel automatically uploads my pictures to Google Photos, it seems less clunky than any other option.

@jemostrom Just display photos from a catagory in a nice presentable fashion. It seems there are like 3 microblog plugins offering it, just wondering which to choose.

@timapple I’ve found Micro.blog’s new Photo Collections feature to work very well for creating individual galleries. You can see how I’m using it to display multiple photo blogging challenges links on this page.

@gregmoore galleries looks like a great way to organize them once I have a bunch.
