YSK embed an image into your comments here when the image is externally hosted - Lemmy.world

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: ![image](imageURL)

url like this? I typed
![https://imgur.com/a/jFq5RZa](url)

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.

This is an screenshot of the official documentation hosted externally:

This is with escapes to display what I used above:

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)?

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
