The tragedy here is that you had to make a screenshot to then upload to Mastodon, only later to come here and have to point out where the original post is. It would be great if you could have made the post on Mastodon simply by linking to the original post and then the format would have looked just as good as the screenshot, and then both sides of the Fediverse could converse. Or, the opposite could happen.
I’ve talked about this kind of thing before https://lemm.ee/post/4955936 and some are confident this is how things will eventually end up, so I hope they’re right.

Ah, I see. Lemmy handles comment images differently from the rest of the Fediverse, even including kbin. Annoying.
Interesting. I’ll do the research, thanks!
