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:
You're viewing a single thread.
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.
