Yes, bullet points can be indented (if you don’t mind the ‘bullet’ at the start !)  
… and the links work too !

- Line 1
  - Line 2
    - Liine 3 with link [link](https://boards.straightdope.com/)
      - Liine 4 with link [link](https://boards.straightdope.com/)

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to put an image in a post. I feel like I’m replicating the code format correctly, but nothing’s working.

What you want is

1. The url of the image file (.gif, .jpg, .png) itself, _not_ the url of a page containing the graphic.

2. The url must be on a line by itself. No other characters or punctuation.

3. If that doesn’t work, insert a blank line ahead of the line with the url on it. Occasionally some formatting codes used in the preceding paragraph won’t clear out fully without an intervening blank paragraph, and that leftover internal gunk precludes displaying the preview.

A corrollary of #1 is that if the host of the image uses some unusual sort of url that doesn’t end in the usual graphic extensions, that image may not be able to be inlined here. It can be linked to, just not visibly inlined.
