When did this happen?! It makes me so happy!

It's still not quite as good as old reddit with RES was, where you started with everything normal and then clicked a button to expand (or contract) media. Being able to contract everything is almost as useful, particularly if you want to scroll further down. However it's still a great improvement, as well as proof that lemmy just keeps getting better.

Yeah the code you’ve mentioned is the standard for posting images within a comment.

Actually it's a little more than just that. It's a way not just to show the image auto-scaled down to the comment, but to create a popup option that can display a full-size version of that same image when clicked. Notice the hotlink option as you hover over the image, due to the image URL being listed twice, not once. I've rarely seen that method used on Lemmy, hence the share in case it was useful to anyone reading.

Anyway, I'm very interested in what you're saying, so this will just be a drive-by comment for now.

If possible, maybe I can help you test and ponder this stuff so that at the very least, we can better-shape an efficient suggestion to add to the GitHub for a future Lemmy. Cheers for now.

Ahh I see, it's a nested link.

It doesn't so much expand the full sized image when you click, it links to the image directly. It could link to anything.

OMG, I haven't seen that song/dance since the 80's!

I love how you slipped it right in where I clicked.
HAHAHA... cleverest shizzle I've seen in ages!

Alright, what's our plan!?
