I think the two platforms interpret links differently. In Lemmy you need to enclose the link in some special formatting to show it inline while MD likely just sees the image link and goes OK render image.

@slazer2au in Friendica we can use BBCode [img=url]image discription[/url] I think Pleroma does similar, but I'm not aware of any way to do that in Mastodon (it really is the worst platform on the 'verse)

This is an image added using mastodon's "attach image" option rather than a URL to the image, does it work?
