What does find squashfs-root say?

[superbonaci]

$ ./appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage LBRY_0.53.9.AppImage squashfs-root
appimagetool, continuous build (commit 5735cc5), build <local dev build> built on 2023-03-08 22:52:04 UTC
LBRY_0.53.9.AppImage is a file, assuming it is an AppImage and should be unpacked
To be implemented
$ find squashfs-root/
squashfs-root/

The directory squashfs-root/ must exist, it's not created by appimagetool.

./appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage LBRY_0.53.9.AppImage squashfs-root

Wrong usage. The AppImage output name follows the source directory.

Other than that, self-extraction is standard with type 2. Your initial post lacks any description of what you were trying to do to extract the AppImage.

I don't see a problem here. You found --appimage-extract yourself eventually. This is what you want to do. Closing.
