It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Thanks for pointing this out: It looks like a problem between Lemmy and Mbin. We are looking into it now.
You have to click on the title, not the picture
https://www.topspeed.com/the-one-bike-culture-trend-thats-quietly-taking-over-cities/
Edit: It looks like there is an issue with the link working properly on Lemmy instances. We were troubleshooting this but this shit isn't my job and some folks are being dicks so I'll work on this if and when I have the time and motivation.
If anyone else out there wants to volunteer their time as well and get the info we found so far to the devs of Lemmy and Mbin, go for it! If anyone wants to downvote or complain, they can go pound sand.
Edit 2: A report has been submitted. Thank you to everyone who helped troubleshoot this.
Title clicking doesn't work here on Jerboa client.
Just use the standard way to link content...
Sounds like the Jeroba client is broken and the developers should probably be notified. I did not do anything unusual to post this article.
Someone else having this issue is using Voyager and another is using old.lemmy.world+Firefox - this might be a Lemmy and/or Mbin issue.
Love that I'm getting downvotes trying to help get this fixed though. Why bother? Shit, maybe I won't.
Edit: I did anyways. Guess I won't let let a couple of assholes ruin things for everyone else.
Doesn't work on web instance (discuss.tchncs.de) via Firefox either.
Just checked.
Ok, thanks! We're working to see under what circumstances it breaks now. Hopefully we can use all this info to help the the devs get this working better across instances/platforms.
I'm on a Lemmy instance (sh.itjust.works) with the standard interface, the link and picture both go to the picture so it looks like it is a problem with Lemmy or Mbin, not just apps. I was able to replicate it in multiple browsers.
Can you try reposting this from your Lemmy account to see if that makes a difference? Given what we're seeing so far I think it might be an issue on Mbin's side.
Neither link to anything for me (but yes, the link in your comment works)
Are you using Jeroba?
Voyager
You've linked to a picture of a motocycle, not the article that the image was presumably from.
The article link is there, but you have to click on the title. The autopreview Lemmy makes is just a picture.
Edit: It looks like this is an actual bug with Mbin posting to Lemmy instances that happens sometimes. A report has been submitted to the dev.
Clicking on the title just opens a bigger picture than the one visible in the preview.
This is the URL that the title links to: https://fedia.io/media/bf/74/bf740f1fa0ab32bd7046f21371cf3c2c25827190a8031768aa58039fd766d42f.jpg
Note the ".jpg"
Hmm, the title links to https://www.topspeed.com/the-one-bike-culture-trend-thats-quietly-taking-over-cities/ for me on Mbin. Are you on an app or the .world website? Any custom UI in use?
As another data point, in the Thunder mobile app for Lemmy, there is no link in the post, just the thumbnail.
Same here. You're commenting from sh.itjust.works and I'm commenting from lemmy.dbzer0.com.
Whether this is due to our lemmy instances or our app I'm not too sure.
Another person said they were on the old.lemmy.world instance and Firefox with the same issue so it sounds like it isn't exclusive to apps. I think it might be a problem between Mbin and Lemmy. This might take a coordinated effort between the devs of both.
That sounds about right. Here's hoping it gets sorted soon.
I'm using old.lemmy.world & Firefox.
