<div class="post" data-guid="${post.guid}">
<div>
<img class="avatar" src="https://imghost.com${post.avatar.thumb}"/>
</div>
<div class="content">
<div class="text-content">${post.parsed_text}</div>
${post?.image_urls?.length > 0 ? printImage(`https://imghost.com${post.image_urls[0].original}`) : ''}
${post?.url_preview ? `<hr/><div class="preview">${printPreview(post.url_preview)}</div>` : ''}
${post?.quote_data ? `<hr/><div class="quote">${printQuote(post.quote_data)}</div>` : ''}
${post?.filtered ? `<div>filtered by: <b>${post.filtered}</b></div>` : ''}
</div>
</div>
