As someone who never uses Slack, Discord nor Facebook (mostly IRC), how does a HN link look if you're not using that service? I'm not sure I understand the diff

As someone who never uses Slack, Discord nor Facebook (mostly IRC), how does a HN link look if you're not using that service? I'm not sure I understand the difference, is it just the icon/image on the right/below that is different?
- reustle 5y agoThe second link in the screenshot is an example without the service
- capableweb 5y agoAha, so the added information is number of votes (at indexing time? Reading the chat message time?), comments, relative timestamp and the logo is at the right instead of below with absolute timestamp. Got it, thanks!
- jedberg 5y ago> number of votes (at indexing time? Reading the chat message time?) At the time it was read from the server, which in most cases is when the sender hit send.
- Gigachad 5y agoIt’s more important on other services. Telegram won’t get a title at all, it just leaves the link without any preview because these tags are missing.
- statico 5y agoI added some example screenshots to the README: https://github.com/statico/ycombinator1.com#readme https://github.com/statico/ycombinator1.com#readme
- RileyJames 5y agoI’d suggest adding captions or titles to the screenshots. At present it’s just 4 screenshots. Not at all clear that some are with/without, or what each represents. I like the idea and would use it. But the readme doesn’t give me that context, only the additional comments made here.
- statico 5y agoDone.
