Why YSK: You don’t need to load down the instance by uploading the image to the instance. You only need to know the syntax is on the following line:

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)?
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:
https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/02-media.html
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
right? eg.image
and I’ll give postimages a go :) I just used imgur since I knew about it
The image you use can only be an image. Imgur broke this functionality because it is trackerware/spyware/stalkerware. Use this to upload your image: https://postimages.org/ then after it posts, right click or select the image and view it in a new tab. Copy the URL from this tab and use it. That will work because the URL will be for just an image file only.
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.
yeah I think you’re right. I went on lemmy and it looked a little different haha
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
