    Apparently in Lemmy you can’t post a URL and an image 🤷.

      Yea it’s one or the other, so that it federates nicely

      What I do is link the URL in the main post (to get a thumbnail, and because that’s what people expect), and the image in the post body. You can insert it like this

      ![alt text](image URL)

        Ah I see it’s just Lemmy failing to get the thumbnail that I was trying to fix. I guess it’s just something in Lemmy’s code.
