Why YSK: You don’t need to load down the instance by uploading the image to the instance. You only need to know the syntax is on the following line:

![image](imageURL)

    Only change the imageURL part

    I have to type escapes for the first 2 elements to be able to display them visually, so if you see them because of differences in markup you know why.

    This is a screenshot of the official documentation hosted externally:

    This is with escapes to display what I used above:

        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.

          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
          ![image](__image_url__) right? eg. ![image](https://imgur.com/a/g3dJUyy)
          image

          and I’ll give postimages a go :) I just used imgur since I knew about it

        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
