YSK embed an image into your comments here when the image is externally hosted
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:
Let's test this
cool, it works. left one blank line under the pic
Trying now. Thank you.
Interestingly,when commenting to your post the "!" Displayed in your post changed to "\ !\ " for me (without the space)
I tried both and "!" worked.
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.
Alternatively run your own instance and do instance operators a favor.
Bookmarked Thanks for sharing
Helpful to know! Thanks!
Think I got it. Although my post shows up fine on the Web version of lemmy.world but not in Jerboa.
url like this? I typed
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.

I never knew that. Cool!
Let's try. Fail expected:
Gifs don't work
But...
This is what happens when I try it 🤷🏼♂️
Here I go-
I wanna try this too, seems really cool.
Doesn't work for kbin.
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.
Doesn't work on Jerboa ☹️ At least I now know why my feed seems to be filled with these html image links.
No it works. Check this comment.
I'm on Jerboa too.
I don't think imgur will work since they hide the direct links to images on mobile (no png, jpeg, etc.)
Wow it worked.
Apologies to the owner of the image. I just copied one of the URLs in this thread and used it.
