canonically autistic

Howdy! Unfortunately, your meme didn't embed properly... Here's how to fix it!

If you're in a hurry, just edit your comment to replace it with the following text:

    
![GIF meme of a cat, labeled "me", trying to eat food in a cooking device, labeled "ur art", but failing, because human hands show up to grab the cat as soon as he tries to eat the food.](https://c.tenor.com/hd9NfrUhDUEAAAAM/eating-art-i-love-your-art.gif)

What you wrote is how you insert a link in Lemmy. To insert an image, you write the same thing you wrote, but you put an exclamation mark (!) before what you wrote.

Like this:

    
![You write the image's alt text here](https://example.com/image.jpg)

For comparison, here's how you insert a link:

    
[This text will become a link](https://example.com/)

Here is how you can insert other stuff in Lemmy post bodies and comments: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/02-media.html

Here is a small page on why and how you should write alt text on your images: https://accessibility.huit.harvard.edu/describe-content-images (basically people with sight issues and crappy internet connections will be thankful¹)

Hope I could help! ;)

Couldn't make me more autistic.
