When you create a post, you can fill in a URL, an image, a title, and body text.

It seems if you do all 4 (maybe just the image is the issue?), the URL doesn’t seem to be available anywhere on the post.

I have seen a few articles posted without sources and I am wondering if people are posting sources to the URL field as I have just tried to do now on another post, which is then seemingly not displayed either on lemmy.world or on Sync at least. Am I missing it?

    True, there needs to be a fair amount redesigned. Some things aren’t clear and you find out from trial and error. The best way to do what you want though is to use the URL field for what you’re wanting to link to. If you want a image visible as well, you have to use the inline image markdown code:

    ![](image link)

      Thanks - yeah I think you’re right that would be the best way to handle that if I need to in the future!
