YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

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)
screenshot https://imgur.com/a/g3dJUyy
(btw will you type exactly the command you put, maybe with the code `` option)?
Lol. I'm on Graphene OS so all the imgur trackers are blocked and I can't see anything from them.
FYI this website has the simple functionality imgur used to have before they started all the trackerware nonsense:
https://postimages.org/
This is the documentation link that has all the syntax for posting pics in comments and more:
https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/02-media.html
Alright so I went on lemmy cuz I'm using both xD and I can finally see what you meant in your earlier comment. You said do
right? eg.image
and I'll give postimages a go :) I just used imgur since I knew about it
The image you use can only be an image. Imgur broke this functionality because it is trackerware/spyware/stalkerware. Use this to upload your image: https://postimages.org/ then after it posts, right click or select the image and view it in a new tab. Copy the URL from this tab and use it. That will work because the URL will be for just an image file only.
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
seems to work fine on viewing the image embedded on kbin for me.. it doesnt expand automatically (u gotta click a little expand button to show it) but that may be a setting only somewhere on the site
