Try uploading the image without text. If you use text it will just create a link. If you don’t enter text, it will display the picture, as long as it’s not too large of a file.
I can confirm it does not work with animated gifs or large files, and you also can’t link to an image – you must use the image upload button so it’s hosted on your instance. Here’s an example of the code.
Why would some heartless soul downvote this
They hated Jesus because he told them the truth ^my lemmy app can’t upload images sorry bud^
They hated Harold because he hid the pain.

🤔 yeah I keep getting file too large errors - perhaps it’s the instance I’m using?
Maybe, I didn’t try on .ee but can you even do a tiny 10kB .jpg?
Hmm let me try

Hmmm interesting any idea what the file size limit is?
I do not. I assume it varies per instance.
For lemm.ee it’s 100kB but you can also link external images which I assume shouldn’t have a file size limit. https://lemm.ee/post/25065
