    for an image in a comment, just put the text in the square brackets at the very beginning!

    normally it should look like this:

    ![Put your alt text here](https://example.com/link-to-image.webp)

    you can go back to add alt text in a comment by editing it too!

      Ah, thank you. You might be the person that told me this before! I was thinking that space would appear as hyperlink text. Going to save this one.

      Edit: Weirdly, I don’t see the alt text. Maybe it works differently in different apps/formats

        if the alt text is “They’re The Same”, then i see it! it might work differently on some clients yea

        for example, i think on the web interface the alt text only shows if you’re using a screen reader, but i may be wrong

          Hmm, good to know. I was using alexandrite.app in desktop browser and thought it showed up previously when hovering but maybe there’s a setting. Haven’t checked on phone but I don’t think I am seeing any alt text on sync app. Thank you.
