Tiff had the excellent idea of just hotlinking to the image directly and posting the tweet url in the body. Works perfectly for me now.
Bummer ~ The link worked when I posted it, but now it does not anymore, even when I insert another Nitter instance. I chose Nitter because Twitter links do not appear to get a thumbnail and preview on Lemmy - at least last time I checked. The preview and thumbnail still work for me though luckily.
Thank you, she really is ~ Koyubita always draws very cute girls.

Maybe they have some little niche communities they do not want to just abandon.
That is why I still use reddit - when you have a really niche hobby or interest and finally discover a community of people that you can share the joy of that interest with, that feels great - you do not want to lose that community that you have longed for for so long.
I am part of some niche communities that have an activity level and a user base that is hard to beat on reddit. I am doing my part here on Lemmy and created local c/dolls and c/denpasong communities on my home instance, but of course nobody is interested here on Lemmy. I am giving Lemmy some time of course, but I am afraid that I will stay lonely with my little communities here on Lemmy unfortunately.
Thank you for pointing it out ~
