Comment on Can't post images, says "SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<', "
The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 10 months agoI tried to do this earlier and I think I messed up, because it was directing off site instead of viewable in Lemmy. Does that mean I likely pasted the link instead of the image?

When you finish uploading you’re brought to a full webpage with the image embedded in it like this:
imgur.com/a/SzSKW5M
You want to right-click on the image and select ‘open image in new tab’ which gives you this:
i.imgur.com/GFTwYm3.jpg
(if you’re on mobile first select ‘desktop site’ from the browsers options or you’ll get a low quality .webp version from the open image button. It’ll work, but many ppl hate it)
Finally format it like this to embed it in a post/comment:
(I added backslashes to the front of that to prevent it embedding the link as an image and show you the formatting instead)
