      Are you just going around, commenting “not a meme”?
      Also, people didn’t believe me, but I knew that CPR worked.

        Not a meme.

        If anyone can tell me why I can’t post images anywhere on lemmy, I’d appreciate it.

          Do you mean you want to insert an inline image? To do that you need to use markdown embed, like so:

          ![optional image title](https://image.url.jpg)

          Exclamation point makes the image appear inline, instead of as a link.

            That didn’t work with the above edit.

            Problem is any image I paste or upload gives me; “Problem uploading image. Please try again.”

              The only problem with your image above is that the link to is broken. If you insert an existing URL from web, it will work.

              Not sure why your uploads don’t work though.

                  Here’s the URL in your comment:

                  https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimgflip.com%2Fi%2F8zyq0d

                  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:

                  ![not a meme](https://i.imgflip.com/8zyq0d.jpg)

                  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. 🖖
