it's that simple.

While I have several substacks bookmarked, so far this is my only subscription, and the author very kindly gifted it to me. If you can afford to support this author's speaking truth to power, please consider it, and please consider supporting ~~deadlines~~, dessalines, nutomic, and altmediaguy. They whisper truth through the angry and loud CIA/Mossad propaganda, that has become overgrown poison ivy in the Western world.

The link just goes to a photo. There's no article.

Mine didn't go directly to an article either. Just the photo. Hmmm

Weird, it goes straight to an article for me.

Yes, I got that from your earlier comment, which is unhelpful.

Looks like it could be an issue between kbin/mbin and lemmy. Switched to Piefed and yes, it does show up. Not sure how exactly they shared the link to make it appear for some users and not for others.

Not for me either, just a photo.

links to an article for me

Maybe it's your client or instance?

It's happening to me as well on Boost for Android

I don't know. I'm using the default web frontend. Maybe something is getting its wires crossed when the post is passed between instances. I've seen this happen before.

I use the web interface as well. And I believe you post in good faith. Were you able to copy and paste the URL?

Thanks. Evidently there's some kind of intermittent problem, probably on my instance as you suggest, and apparently some others too.

It may be a federation issue. Perhaps post it in the meta for your instance so admin can investigate?

You're always welcome, my friend.
