Close. Move the apostrophe from before the I to after.
nope. the apostrophe replaces the “wou” part of “would”
Nope, nope, nope. “Would” is not contracted as “'ld,” and then there would be no “I.” That’s a capital I, not a lowercase l.
you all would have if would have?
Yeah, it would be y’all’d’ve if I’d’ve at most.

It’s missing an apostrophe after the I.
Being from the south…I’m just trying to look back and remember if I’ve ever used this…it’s plausible
Where/since when is 'f a thing?
Fuck’f I know
Always, 'round these parts
English is becoming polysynthetic and I am here for it
lol boo didn’t even try asking if it’d float, they just mainlined pure hopium and casually threw it out there “Why yes, ‘f’’ is part of a balanced, healthy contraction used by billions everyday!”
Wrong.
Not a contraction, but still a recognized linguistic device called a clitic! That’s safe to Google, I promise. In this case it’s a proclitic

Sure, I agree with that, and tbf a respondent in OP’s pic did say it’s almost a complete sentence of contractions, but I felt honor-bound to satirically gatekeeper something that’s fun to screw around with. Language is gonna language, believe me, I’m aware.
Is this how Gaelic was born?
You really oughtn’t’ve.
y’all’d’ve’f’id’ve’dun’it
Get outta here with your 'f for “if”
