This comment perplexes me. A direct link to the image? Why not either embed that link so the image appears here on Lemmy without clicking a link, or link to the comic page which has both the comic and the title text?

    Neither of those is a good approach, because part of every xkcd comic is the hover text.

    Yes…that would be why you would link directly to the comic…?

    I was referring to the image-only link and the embed that you suggested. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
