  Here’s the URL in your comment:

  lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimgf…

  If you try to open it directly, you’ll see an error, when you should be seeing an image.

  I see a couple issues with it. Firstly, URL contains an image proxy. Now, I’m not sure how exactly Lemmy works and if those are necessary, but my comments don’t have those (on most clients you can use an option to see the raw comment text). Secondly, that imgflip URL leads to a page and not to a direct image, which causes issues. If you link the direct image URL like so:

  

  The result is:
  not a meme

  Regarding the podcast you linked, I’m in no way associated with it, if that’s what you thought. I’m just using an account on StarTrek.website Lemmy instance because I’m a fuckin’ nerd. 🖖

    Bro. IDK WTF and the existing link was my attempt at the suggestion, not my original link which was like…

    This

      This is the link you’re using:

      imgflip.com/i/8zykr0

      (I also noticed that you switched to using another image 8zyq0d vs 8zykr0, so I’ll switch as well to avoid confusion)
      It’s not a direct link to an image. Use a direct link to an image:

      i.imgflip.com/8zykr0.jpg

      As you can see, the URLs are different:

      • “i.” in front of imgflip.com
      • ".jpg" at the end
        ‎

      Try copy-pasting this exact line:

      ![](https://i.imgflip.com/8zykr0.jpg)

      and you should get:
      Image

      Now, IDK why your client adds the proxy, but I hope that it’s not breaking anything. We will know once you try.

        Installed and logged in using Sync. Same issue, but says, “Could not upload image.”

        If I copy and paste it says, “Sync pasted from your clipboard.” but nothing happens.

        Bummer for sure.
