The URL is a base64 image, and so is this:

  • @AgreeableLandscapeOP

    Think it’s because the Markdown parser doesn’t recognize it as a valid URL.

    Base64 doesn’t work for SVGs either (maybe it’s because of the plus sign):

    ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMDAgMTAwIj48dGV4dCB5PSIuOWVtIiBmb250LXNpemU9IjkwIj7wn42EPC90ZXh0Pjwvc3ZnPg==)

    It kind of works as a post URL though, but at least on my browser, you need to press enter before it will display: https://lemmy.ml/post/49383

      I’ve made it work with kramdown at least :)

      Wow, the formatted Markdown even truncates the data URL with an ellipses.
