First, thanks for creating this community!
I liked about https://old.reddit.com/r/xkcd/ that you can expand the comic, even if the full URL was submitted (not just the image URL). This way, I could either peek the comic but stay where I am, or open the URL and still go to the XKCD site.
Recent example posts which do that:
- xkcd 2794: Alphabet Notes
- xkcd 2793: Garden Path Sentence
- xkcd 2792: Summer Solstice
Here, posted comics look as if an image could be expanded, but it redirects me to XKCD instead.
Not sure how /r/xkcd did this. Any chance we can do a similar thing here?
I think they just hotlinked to the image, that said, you’d lose the alt text by doing so.
