Sorry if this has been asked before, but every time I try to create a post it seems like Lemmy will accept one or the other, not both. Yet other posts do this. What’s the process to include an image when I post a link?

    Yeah, you can post whatever you want in the body. I was just giving a direct answer to OP about why the post metadata can’t have both.

      Ah, I think I see what you were getting at now, as in like posting a news article with a specific photo that also links…?

      I was thinking more like posting a photo and linking to the source in the body.

        Yeah. Like, if you posted a news article but the thumbnail image doesn’t load, if you provide your own, you lose the link to the article.
