  • Thanks so much for all your work. I understand wanting to differentiate between links and images. If I may offer a counterpoint, I believe Apollo didn’t differentiate between them, and I never conflated the two. It was usually obvious from the post title whether it was an image or a link. That’s just me and my personal preference though. I know Memmy differentiates between them by having a translucent link icon over the thumbnail. Although not my personal preference, it is one option.



  • Thanks for the reply. I mean for things like external news articles. In other apps, when you have a news article, you’ll see a picture from that article in the thumbnail in your feed, instead of just the hyperlink icon.

    So for example if I go to the Canada community, I’ll see a post titled “Rebuilding Lac-Mégantic: Decade after rail disaster, residents say downtown still a desert” which links to a CBC article. In other apps, I would see the picture from that article in the thumbnail. In Thunder, there’s no thumbnail, just the hyperlink icon. Sorry to be long winded, just trying to be detailed. Does it make sense?
