It's just a choice Steemit is making as far as how and what links display on their platform. It's up to the platform to decide what will display from a link. For example, when I post Steemit links on the Minds.com platform, the source image shows up on Minds.com automatically, so basically Steemit is trying to make sure that it's better for me if I post on Steemit and share on Minds.com rather than the other way around which will leave me with a text-only share unless I put up my own image on Steemit, which might seem like no big deal, but if it's not my post then I might not have the right to post the image myself and probably won't know for sure whether I do or not.
You seem to have added a <code> tag. You should remove that in order for it to work properly. :) Just copy this and paste it.

Do you know why this is happening?

You have to do it like this:
<a href="https://www.minds.com/media/839618750158573568"><img src="https://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/QmTw5stGexp26hXGFCwqUhFP9QL5s4FDh3MFcA7Joje8rx"></a>
Or like this:
[![](https://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/QmTw5stGexp26hXGFCwqUhFP9QL5s4FDh3MFcA7Joje8rx)](https://www.minds.com/media/839618750158573568)
The syntaxes are the following:
![](link to image)
or
<img src="link to image">
[text to link](the link itself)
or
<a href="link">text to link</a>
[![](link to image)](link)
or
<a href="link"><img src="link to image"></a>
It looks complicated but it's pretty straight-forward once you understand it. You can also add another link below the image like
<a href="Link to Minds post">View in Minds.com</a>
Result:
View more on Minds.com
It's bigger because I also added
<h3>text</h3>
, which is the code for a size-3 title.Thanks CS. Working on absorbing this massively complicated scripting language. Sorry.

<a href="Link to Minds post">View more on Minds.com</a>
I was pasting it in w/o going into raw HTML mode so it was inserting spaces I think.
This by itself works:

Now how a normal person whose name doesn't begin with "Crypto" is supposed to know that...
I don't see where you find that address. The one I see in my bar for that blog post reads - https://www.minds.com/media/839618750158573568.
I get this for the poet voice post:
h ttps://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/cultural-analysis-poet-voice
but where do I go to find the ipfs one?
