President Donald Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social that it was "a great time to buy.” Less than four hours after his post, Trump announced a 90-day pause on nearly all his tariffs.
I guess the exclamation point (!) is what tells lemmy to embed the link. I wonder if that works with non-image url’s?
Edit: Huh… nifty. And that’s where my knowledge hits a wall, cause I have no idea what’s happening in the background, where one url can be embedded as an image, and the other shows up as a “‘obj’ box”. I just don’t understand enough to know what makes an “image” embedable
Also when you write something in bold or italic or code it is ‘translated’ by the backend because the html output is different the the plain text input.
Thank you; I’ma have to dig-in a little as to what html and markdown are, and how I can understand them better. I always feel like I’m missing some kind of “common knowledge” when it comes to the intermingling of internet/network/program-language. I’m no programmer either, but forever curious
What is the link of the image you put in?
Cartoon Luigi gif.
I don’t know which one you mean, but let’s say you found this image of Luigi on tenor (https://tenor.com/nl/view/luigi-gif-1407430845338737317) you have to copy the URL to the actual image which is the following link: https://media.tenor.com/E4gy5Z5X2qUAAAAi/luigi.gif
then you put that in the url place of
[Alt text](img url)so you end up with the following:
if you do that without putting it
between code bracketsyou embed the image:Ah, so image hosts don’t work then? I’ll try another.
AHA! With imgur, you gotta right click on the image and copy link, rather than just copying the link in the address bar!
Anyway, this is the image that got me perma-banned from Reddit.
Fuck reddit
Yeah. What’s wild is I didn’t even post the gif on Reddit. I just up voted it and got banned for promoting violence.
Huffman is such a fucking coward.

I have no clue how it is processed, you can link to a community by writing
[[email protected]](https://lemmy.world/c/world)And a URL by writing
[text](https://www.lemm.ee/)Also when you write something in bold or italic or
codeit is ‘translated’ by the backend because the html output is different the the plain text input.But I’m no programmer, so I don’t really know.

I know how that feels, but don’t worry about it. Once you know you know, and when you don’t there is probably someone who doesn’t mind to tell you
