What are you using lemmy or whatever on? On jerboa on android I can just hit the image icon to add another image. It will appear as another line of text that represents the image reference and you can see the name of the image file you uploaded. It is a little confusing at first but it is actually a very straightforward system.
You can put text between images too, like this
things are about to get... less hairy?
Using it on the desktop.
hit edit post, click add image button.
you can also always comment on your post and add an image to your comment!
you can look at your post in edit mode and literally see where the image will appear inbetween the text of your post (called the body for a lemmy post I think, the stuff other than the post title and post url I mean).
I think maybe the confusing thing that is mixing us up is that you can add an image to a lemmy post and that is kind of a seperate thing than just clicking the "add image" button (or whatever it is called in your lemmy interface, Il check on desktop in a bit and edit) in the body of your post or comment.
if that doesn't make sense, don't sweat it, just make a comment and click the "add picture" button on the comment editing interface! it doesn't really matter
