On this topic since you seem to know a bit about it - when folks from lemmy instances post stickers (I think they are?) they won’t expand on kbin and I have to open those in a new tab, is that basically the same as what’s going on here (the stickers don’t embed)?
those are custom emojis and for some godforsaken reason they’re implemented as inline markdown images and not as actual custom emojis the rest of the fedi had a standards extension/convention for years ago

I vaguely understand what that means lol (no need to explain in depth, I’m good). I guess it’s all part and parcel of how the fediverse works…
