    This is the link you're using:

    https://imgflip.com/i/8zykr0

    (I also noticed that you switched to using another image 8zyq0d vs 8zykr0, so I'll switch as well to avoid confusion)
    It's not a direct link to an image. Use a direct link to an image:

    https://i.imgflip.com/8zykr0.jpg

    As you can see, the URLs are different:

    • "i." in front of imgflip.com
    • ".jpg" at the end
      ‎

    Try copy-pasting this exact line:

    ![](https://i.imgflip.com/8zykr0.jpg)

    and you should get:

    Now, IDK why your client adds the proxy, but I hope that it's not breaking anything. We will know once you try.

    Installed and logged in using Sync. Same issue, but says, "Could not upload image."

    If I copy and paste it says, "Sync pasted from your clipboard." but nothing happens.

    Bummer for sure.

    I really appreciate your time, but I don't know technically why I'm doing this, why it works, or how to replicate it going forward. Pretty annoyed with the inability to simply paste or upload.

    No problem. If you have more questions, feel free to ask.

    I used Sync back in Reddit days, but not on Lemmy, so IDK if that's Sync's fault or your instance's*. Try another client? I'm currently using Voyager. It's like Apollo for iOS, but free.
