Ahh yes, the downside of using Jerboa. Sometimes it doesn’t like certain images and doesn’t let them view you. Even worse: tried opening the post in my web browser and it refused to show as well!
The things I do for not being on r€ddit anymore…
Edit: Copied thumbnail link and it works. I’m an absolute dipshit.
that’s interesting to know - I only really use Lemmy on desktop and it allowed me to upload the image to… where ever lemmy is hosting these images I guess?

Not working link (Not Jerboas fault, doesn’t work in browser either) https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/be1cd2d2-439b-4188-ae13-c812c7875846.png
Each post uploaded (with url)has two urls: thumbnail_url and url.
https://mv-gh.github.io/lemmy_openapi_spec/#tag/Post/paths/~1post/get
Jerboa shows the thumbnail_url on home (in small_card postviewmode) and actual url in the post. If you swap modes you see it show the image
Now as far as I know Lemmy automatically makes the thumbnail URL.
I don’t have time rn to dive into the specifics
But i do find it very weird thumbnail_url and url are on different instances. Possible related to this
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3870 ??
I’ll look into it later more but it’s seems more like a backend issue instead of the client
