    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: ![image of Luigi](https://media.tenor.com/E4gy5Z5X2qUAAAAi/luigi.gif)

    if you do that without putting it between code brackets you 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.

    ![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

    [text](https://www.lemm.ee/)

    Also when you write something in bold or italic or code it 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
