@judgedread Apparently, I'm crippled in the absence of Pleroma displaying the filenames above the attachments; apparently it doesn't even occur to me to write down things that are conveyed by the filename.
That is the_mkultra_hits.webm and I think this explains the file perfectly.
@romin@judgedread Looks like all of the uploads go through `doAPI` and some of them set `file` and some of them do not; I can't think of a place where files get uploaded but are not attachments, so I wonder if `doAPI` is fine setting a description on, like, all of them. Guess there's one way to find out!
@p@judgedread description is only shown as img alt text (I can see your put*n pic description), you may want to edit the post template to display the attachment description as part of the post body, tho that'd only work for you
@romin@judgedread Did not work for me, but I wouldn't put it past most web "frameworks" to do this in an order-dependent manner, so lemme try putting it before like r did.
Ah, right, the thing I was complaining about is that Pleroma can be configured to display the filenames before the attachments. (They made it an option; I would have forked if they'd just removed it instead of keeping it as an option. But they also added an option to uncap the filename length, that was even better!)

Then it'd show the filenames *twice* on some instances. I use the same instance of bloat for SPC as for Baest.
@p@judgedread >They made it an option I see I thought they removed it.

@romin@judgedread There's no Early Cuyler so I will have to make do with Splatoon:

Aside from allowing filenames to speak for themselves, one of the non-shitposty benefits was that if I uploaded some PDFs, they'd have their filenames visible. This might solve that part, but not the part where the post is missing its big, beefy stack of filenames.
@p@judgedread@sjw >*Manually*? I only set settings once because my machine (bloatfe) automatically downloads them from the pleroma settings store when I log in.
@romin@Moon@judgedread Oh, right, he fixed the public visibility for my timeline so that people from FSE could check what was going on without having to have an SPC account.
@romin@Moon@judgedread I already got him to do something; I don't remember what it was specifically but I remember he went out of his way to humor me and I don't wanna press my luck since I'm a temporary guest here.
