What client did you post this with? Trying to debug why it's a link instead of the image.

    Blorp dev here. I'm copying the thumbnail url into the post url, but perhaps that's incorrect. I'm open to suggestions. Again, not confident I'm handling this correctly, but one advantage of setting post.url is cross posts are compared via url, so setting that url would allow Lemmy to associate cross posts of the same image.

    On the rendering side, Blorp scans post.url and if it's an image (e.g. ends in .png), it renders it as an image post. But perhaps not all clients do that.

    Thanks! Perhaps Thunder (what I am using) does the same, but since this is an avif it's not picked up in filters. I'll start keeping a list of extensions as I see these, as "links vs images" seems to be happening more in posts. The information collection continues.
