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

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:
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.
Its an existing URL. I added the exclamation as described.
Thanks anyways. Big Fan :)
Here’s the URL in your comment:

Bro. IDK WTF and the existing link was my attempt at the suggestion, not my original link which was like…
This
I add an exclamation and…
This is the link you’re using:
(I also noticed that you switched to using another image

As you can see, the URLs are different:
i.” in front ofimgflip.com.jpg” at the end
Try copy-pasting this exact line:
and you should get:
Now, IDK why your client adds the proxy, but I hope that it’s not breaking anything. We will know once you try.
