Mintyytea,

https://imgur.com/a/jFq5RZa like this? I typed
![https://imgur.com/a/jFq5RZa](url)

I don't know completely what you mean. I'm on kbin, so currently for me it shows a blue link "image" but it doesn't seem to do anything when I click it. Wonder if it looks different on lemmy

Only change the imageURL part

I have to type escapes for the first 2 elements to be able to display them visually, so if you see them because of differences in markup you know why.

This is a screenshot of the official documentation hosted externally:

This is with escapes to display what I used above:

Mintyytea,

maybe kbin is too young to be able to do what you're describing? I'll put a screenshot of what I can see (desktop for kbin.social)

(btw will you type exactly the command you put, maybe with the code `` option)?

WhatThaFudge,

seems to work fine on viewing the image embedded on kbin for me.. it doesnt expand automatically (u gotta click a little expand button to show it) but that may be a setting only somewhere on the site

funkyb,

from what i understand, this is syntax implemented on lemmy. it's not from the deeper ActivtyPub protocol all of these things are implementing. If that's true, it won't render on kbin how it does on lemmy.

Mintyytea,

yeah I think you're right. I went on lemmy and it looked a little different haha

Lol. I'm on Graphene OS so all the imgur trackers are blocked and I can't see anything from them.

FYI this website has the simple functionality imgur used to have before they started all the trackerware nonsense:

https://postimages.org/

This is the documentation link that has all the syntax for posting pics in comments and more:

Mintyytea,

Alright so I went on lemmy cuz I'm using both xD and I can finally see what you meant in your earlier comment. You said do
![image](__image_url__) right? eg. ![image](https://imgur.com/a/g3dJUyy)
image

and I'll give postimages a go :) I just used imgur since I knew about it

Think I got it. Although my post shows up fine on the Web version of lemmy.world but not in Jerboa. image

Startrektherapy,

Trying now. Thank you.

zikk_transport2,

We just need better Markdown syntax. Somethi g like GitHub's Markdown would be top notch. Massive bonus would be the ability to preview message.

DreamySweet,

You can also put the image url as the url for your post and it can expand when the thumbnail is clicked as if it was uploaded to your instance.

Chufi, (edited )

Interestingly,when commenting to your post the "!" Displayed in your post changed to "\ !\ " for me (without the space)

I tried both and "!" worked.

@j4k3@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah you got it. I assume you removed that ending tracker token from the link

Chufi,

I'm not well versed in the technical mysteries of the internet yet.

hat would it look like ?

j4k3,
@j4k3@lemmy.world avatar

The link should end in a typical image file type like JPEG. The link you first uploaded had a image type followed by a "?(random characters here)" The last bit is a tacking token.

Chufi,

Thanks for that. And yeah, checked there was none. But good to no for the future

IncendiaDrakon,

Here I go-

lemmy,

Alternatively run your own instance and do instance operators a favor.

Wow it worked.

Apologies to the owner of the image. I just copied one of the URLs in this thread and used it.

@j4k3

Tyler,

I don't think imgur will work since they hide the direct links to images on mobile (no png, jpeg, etc.)

rubikfrog,

Doesn't work on Jerboa ☹️ At least I now know why my feed seems to be filled with these html image links.
