I'm not a smart man, Jenny. Could we get a Lemmy formatting helper pop-up in the comment/text entry box somewhere? (self.boostforlemmy)

There is probably a link somewhere but it would be nice to have the essentials in the boost comment/post forms somewhere so that if I'm trying to remember how to link a user/forum/instance or how to strikethrough text it would be right there.

Yes, I have that (and actually found out it can scroll to the side and there is a quick link for strikethrough!) but I'd also like stuff like "embedding gifs" and other stuff that is not commonly known.

Thanks; to be clear, most if not all of this if searchable on the web, it's more having it easily referenced from within boost's text entry field somewhere as a "?" Help menu or something so that all users won't have to do that each time was my suggestion/request from Ruben.

Wouldn't the markup be the same for gifs and any other image format?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Yes but there currently isnt a button to embed images that you arent uploading from your phone. The image button only lets you upload, not enter a remote image URL. Maybe that would be the easiest one to change for @[email protected] ?
