I can't seem to get an image on https://ipfs.pics to display in a post - when I copy the url into the image url box and click the checkmark nothing happens. Anyone else have a similar experience?

Once it uploads, try right clicking the image and select copy image address. Then paste that as the steemit image url. I was running into the same problem, but that definitely fixes it!

Thank you for your reply! I was going nuts and can confirm your tip works! I found this tutorial and can confirm it works as well:
