Ongoing Issues with Kbin/mbin Posts Not Showing URLS in Posts Crossplatform/App (kbin.earth)

I complained about it several times here and to various instances admins. Screenshot from same thread. I have literally been cursed out, called "stupid," "c***,” "b****,” and other unsavory slurs. I quit complaining because nothing was ever done, and I realize this is a free service offered and admins have lives, jobs, and plenty of work and expense by generously offering this service. I just thought it was worth another try.

Thank you

I haven't taken a look at the Lemmy source code, but judging by the JSON-LD, I think this could easily be fixed by ordering the items in the attachment array so the link comes first. Lemmy seems to just take the first item there and then abort if it's an image not a link.

Depending on how Lemmy is implemented, it might also look for the url property. I don't understand why Mbin is using source instead of url. If Lemmy falls back to the url property, the devs could add that to posts.

Not a dev btw, just trying to provide more context.

That is correct. But so reordering would result in losing the image. I linked to the issue at Lemmys GH and it was marked as resolved just recently, so they should be able to consume multiple attachments soon.

This I also don't know, but as we also put it in the attachments, it should be fine.
