No idea what this is. I guess just a regular lichen on someone's mailbox in Sydney.

Don't judge my camera skills ๐Ÿ˜ฐ I did what I could with my phone, I wasn't drunk

How do you guys get the image visible on the post itself? I need to open it to see it, I must be doing something wrong

Member of Parmeliaceae, not sure what exactly.

Not sure why phone manufacturers are forcing this level of automatic post processing when most people just want a mostly clear/focused photo. Not sure if that what is going on but sometimes I am really surprised by the photos my phone gives me

A good chunk of the pic is out of focus, but the centre is really sharp, and really easy to identify. I hope someone does it; dunno which lichen it is, but I've seen plenty of it here (Curitiba city; Cfb climate, South America).

You need to insert the location of the image in the field "Image:", when creating or editing the post. In the desktop:

In Jerboa:

In other phone applications it's likely the same. If you just insert the picture in the body of the post, like you did, you won't get it appearing before you open the post.

Thank you! I use Boost and I don't have a field for images like what you show. But you've inspired me to try the image button on the main URL field, and that worked apparently. Counterintuitive if you ask me.

Glad you found it; depending on the app the interface might be a bit different.

It's showing it already for me!
