The link is in the text.
😮💨 why do i bother
I'm not vey tech-savvy and I don't understand what you mean by 'flicking the url around'. Why not just use the link in the text? Are you being precious?
On link aggregator sites like this you would normally put the article URL as the main link so people can click on your title and be taken to the article. Having a picture as the main link like you've done would normally be done if the picture was what you wanted to discuss. It's not a real problem how it is currently but it is different to how someone would normally post article links.
Luckily you can edit posts on Lemmy, so what they're suggesting is to go to edit the post and put the article URL in the field labelled URL so your post follows expected behaviour, and if you really wanted a link to the picture you could put that in the description like you currently have the article link.
Hi Tau, that much I knew but some articles' URLs don't follow the rules 😆, like this one, which when I put its URL in the URL box it just said 'Error'. Others say 'Just waiting' or 'One moment' and nothing happens. Zero_gravitas explained it all to me some time ago but I went back to doing the posting this way because I can make it work. So lol, I'll keep posting 'my way' 🎵 Thank you anyway for reaching out 😊
Oh that's the headline generator! when you paste the URL in a little bot behind the scenes downloads the webpage and attempts to extract the headline, if it has trouble then it'll say ‘Error’/‘Just waiting’/‘One moment’ etc
These errors are usually caused by captchas or anti-bot screening which the bot can't get past, so the bot can't make a headline
Easy thing to do, just copy and paste the headline yourself from the article
Yup, that's what I do.
you put url in the body though not in the url
I am done with your trolling arblip3!🤣
🤣
