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.
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
