From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Apparently in Lemmy you can't post a URL and an image 🤷.
Yea it's one or the other, so that it federates nicely
What I do is link the URL in the main post (to get a thumbnail, and because that's what people expect), and the image in the post body. You can insert it like this
Ah I see it's just Lemmy failing to get the thumbnail that I was trying to fix. I guess it's just something in Lemmy's code.
Oh that is odd, and it might be related to your instance because the thumbnail is showing up on lemmy.ca
Here is the post on each instance:

Yeah, looks to be an instance specific bug I guess. Hopefully it can get addressed soon. I think the thumbnail helps with drawing people's attention to posts.
You can use the text field to drop an image link.
