    Do you know if the team has any plans to support in-post image markups? Currently, if I upload an image to my instance/software (PieFed), it can successfully display on M, whereas a post with images linked in to the body will currently appear… well, pretty broken on M. Just a mess of empty space, which looks fairly ridiculous at the moment.

    I’m unironically stoked for this. Small instance admins are so happy our users can finally see the whole conversation. ❤️
