Does the image load in my previous comment? That’s a markdown url link. I tried it with an image from a cloudflared website, one from reuters.com and one from antiwar.com and only the unprotected antiwar.com image would load.
I’ve never looked at the lemmy code, but if I had to wager an irresponsibly wild guess… there’s probably a curl request in there and the useragent is getting blocked by some CDNs.
I don’t think it’s that. Like this image from Reuters served by Cloudflare works:
On the other hand if you try to embed an image served on Reuter’s /resizer/ endpoint it won’t work embedded since they have some authentication process for it.
I don’t think embedded images are being proxied through Lemmy. It’s likely the browser trying to fetch the images directly which fails in some cases.

Edit:
Yeah it does.
