      No, the post is linking to a picture.

        It is a link to a wikkipedia article…

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_and_Nagasaki

        Did you click on the thumbnail?

              I don’t know what you are seeing, but I’ve checked the literal json body of the post and there is no wiki link in there. Just the image link.

                Ok…

                Then I didn’t follow it to wikkipedia…

                Have a nice day.

                (maybe view it direct on kbin https://kbin.social/m/TodayILearned/t/680506/TIL-that-the-US-considered-dropping-an-atomic-bomb-on )

                Seems like a federation issue between kbin and feddit, looks just fine on kbin… @ernest any thoughts?

                  I checked the logs, it seems that @minnieo found a bug in the way she added her post ;) I’ll fix it today, thanks.
