When you create a post, you can fill in a URL, an image, a title, and body text.

It seems if you do all 4 (maybe just the image is the issue?), the URL doesn’t seem to be available anywhere on the post.

I have seen a few articles posted without sources and I am wondering if people are posting sources to the URL field as I have just tried to do now on another post, which is then seemingly not displayed either on lemmy.world or on Sync at least. Am I missing it?

    Yeah I mean that makes sense and follows how reddit functions, I think the UI could do with some reworking or clarification on that though. I’m surely not the only one to be confused by it. Ultimately if it lets you fill in 4 boxes and submits fine with no errors, its a little strange that one of the boxes doesn’t do anything.
