We could do what I think you've done, and regex the details of the attachment into ! [] () Markdown and add it to the text. There's also a DB relationship between comments and images that isn't used, but could be, I suppose.

I've never actually seen a Mastodon user try to add an image to something that ended up as a Lemmy comment, tbh, so it's not something I've thought too much about.

To be clear, this pull request doesn't use regex, it's just JSON deserialisation and string interpolation.

The pull request actually includes one, the main KDE account tags !kde@lemmy.kde.social and includes pictures in their threads regularly. It's just hard to tell from our side as you can't see what's missing.

Ah, great, thank you. It's been added as an Issue for PF now, with a link to this post, so that'll be handy.

(I was likely misusing the term 'regex').
