News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

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.
![image of Luigi] vs [image of Luigi]

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
I have no clue how it is processed, you can link to a community by writing
[!world@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/world)And a URL by writing
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.
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
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
