Hey — upvotes and downvotes! Signs of life! Question: how do I post so that the image appears directly and there is no need to click the link?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

putting the direct link into the link section, ctrl-c ctrl-v, uploading...

Thank you… and please pardon my newness… but you are suggesting two actions here? Can you please kindly break these down? (Sorry this is so cringy but I just need guidance.)

Hello!

Your link is to https://pixel.mamutut.space/p/wowwoweowza/621370665154999687 which is not actually the picture, but a web page that includes the picture (plus some other elements). Some web pages include metadata that lets services like Lemmy pull out the relevant image, but that isn't present or isn't working correctly here, so we don't see the picture.

If you click the picture at your link, it takes you to the picture itself at https://pixel.mamutut.space/storage/m/_v2/621369676392719750/f1538e3aa-7b3151/3hhaJedYNkCy/Pu8IxA7M4OKDSRYvr01WzyNJEwv0IkEVL96Bjziu.jpg . If you replace the URL in your post with this one, it should work as you expect.

Got it! Not exactly sure how this hadn’t occurred to me but thank you for the kind reminder. I think I’ve got this now.
