Weibo commentary image source

Posted under General

Sometimes artists post additional images in a post's comment section, such as an extra doodle or the textless version. The problem is that, unlike platforms like Twitter where replies with images are displayed as reposts with a new address, Weibo makes a difference between image replies and image reposts, and there is no public address attributed to individual commentaries, meaning that it's impossible to source a commentary directly. The closest is adding "#comment" after a post's ID, which jumps to the comment section, but neither this nor using the main post's address are ideal sources. They can be very confusing and a person who sees this might assume that it's the wrong source or the wrong source format. Is there use in creating a meta tag to acknowledge this case? Something like weibo commentary image?

I don't think this is relevant to multi-source commentaries? It's a Weibo-specific issue. I'm not talking about how to source a commentary, I'm talking how to source an image posted as a commentary. Weibo doesn't provide an address to link a specific commentary directly.

Are you sure you don't think it is? You sound pretty sure that it isn't. :blobcatsmirk:

Sorry, snark aside, I was thrown off by you using the word "commentary" and I failed to actually notice that you were confused on how to source an image in a comment rather than how to apply the commentary. Though, technically, that could still apply. Stance remains unchanged on that it's pointless to make a new tag for it.

To be honest, I just source it from the original post as long as the comment is first-party. If they won't give me a proper link then I have to pick the next best place to describe where the image comes from which is the post itself.
