        In case it helps, here is how I do the markdown:

        1. make sure the link is valid - e.g. Google Image ones almost never are, without the second layer of indirection, so all of those I have to follow twice

        2. type out all of the following syntax - annoying, especially on a phone’s keyboard (I don’t use an app, just native browser): ![alternative text](linkurl)

        3. use Preview to verify that the image actually shows

        Yeah… it’s annoying, hopefully Lemmy browser support improves one day:-).

        I don’t know if any of this will help you in the slightest, but I thought I would at least try and offer!:-)

        Your comment looks entirely empty to me, either viewed from my federated home instance or in its original location (but without me logged in) at https://lemmy.world/comment/9764819. I see this sometimes and always wondered what may be going on. Does it look empty to you? Any idea how it got that way - some kind of word filtering perhaps?
