Only realised when I went to reply. Using sync your video link doesn't show. Here it is for other sync users.

So that's why, Sync tries to load this as an image, but there's no image link..
But apparently the link still works and is invisible in Sync.
Out of curiosity are you using quote or code tags? The HTML formatting in your post doesn't display correctly from kbin.
The Fediverse really needs to support standard markdown globally
Well I do get a code block so I'm not sure if that's Kbin-specific markdown but I also get a bunch of HTML inside it too. I can't view the raw comment like I could with RES, but I would suspect that the raw Markdown characters should be sent with the post, for the website to support in its style-specific way, or something. This seems more like someone's client or app inappropriately inserting display style information into the post? But I could be totally wrong, I'm not an expert
I'm just using the fenced code block markdown syntax.
Yeah I thought
in markdown is supposed to map to the img tag in html?In fact, I'm almost certain of it... sec...
Yes, I'm right!
https://spec.commonmark.org/0.30/#images
maps to, by the very spec itself:< img src="blorp" alt="blah" title="vwoop" />(sans space because post stripping though, why are tags in code blocks stripped by the server instead of escaped???)So if it links a youtube video... that... doesn't make sense? It's the img tag, not the link tag. It looks like Sync is correct here, it's putting it in an img tag, which is doing precisely what is expected for it to do?
