Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

I think maybe it doesn't work on embedded images in posts and comments yet. But I've not been following lemmy development closely so don't take my word for it.
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.
