          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!:-)

            I love that this is becoming a troubleshooting thread. Markdown link above…Memmy generates the markdown for you, so let’s see if it works.

            EDIT: seems to have worked now

          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?

            It was supposed to be a picture, and yes it’s empty. I think Memmy didn’t handle the upload correctly.

              Oh that makes so much sense, and I didn’t even consider that. I was thinking rather that there’s no way I know of to even accomplish the submission of an empty string (perhaps in theory some kind of API call). Thank you for taking the time to answer:-).
