Hi,

I just tried to upload an image to a (remote) community via the sdf instance and got a JSON syntax error message.

Also tried using Jerboa and got a “network error”.

Is something broken?

Thanks

    I was able to post an image by making it smaller, so yes, there appears to be some kind of limit.

    That’s going to be a pain for users. Wouldn’t it be better to allow a larger upload and have the server scale it down?

    At the very least, a proper error message, instead of a JSON parsing error!

        If it’s possible to resize an image on the client side, then whatever, but I can’t imagine getting “normals” on board with lemmy if we are giving them an obscure error message and (if they figure out what happened) then asking them to resize images manually.
