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:

    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.

    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.
