Maybe I don't understand yet how posts on Lemmy work, but is there no link/source for this post?

Edit: I can't see it on desktop (lemmy dot world) and neither in Jerboa. Edit2: OP edited the post and included the link which now works. Seems the picture broke the link, according to OP.

Oh weird, adding a picture killed the link. Lemme see if I can fix that.

Sorry, I'm new here.

Now it works for me, thanks!

No problem. I just hope that soon these instances will support pulling thumbnails from the articles to give the links a richer presence here. They're all so uniform and ugly right now.

If you’re viewing in compact mode on wefwef I believe that’s a known issue.

I'm not seeing it on desktop (lemmy dot world) and also not in the Jerboa app.

I’m coming here from kbin and see the link fine

Does kbin have any mobile apps yet?

No, there’s one called Artemis in dev but since kbin doesn’t have an a available API yet it’s not easy.
