Came across this article in the latest stuff magazine and in the past, a lot of writers were a little unsure, but seams more positive.

Is imgur blocked in Brazil?

No, it is some sort of incompatibility I guess.

Look:

Indeed, I asked Melroy above which format they use

It's a jpg.

But the problem is most likely related to the ActivityPub message. It seems that Lemmy doesn't support attachments!?

What format do you use for pictures?

Are pictures from Lemmy viewable on Mbin?

Picture is just JPG. But like I said, it's the activity pub message which I believe Lemmy can't handle very well (or at all?). Its using a so called "attachment" attribute to the message. Here Mastodon also supports it: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/activitypub/#properties-used

Here an example of this:

Lemmy probably limits those to posts and not comments, and expects comments to have pictures in the comment body
