Tried Lemmy with lemm.ee first. Can’t fucking upload images because it’s apparently “too large”. Said image is only around 100 KB.

Probably just happens to me but that’s why I switched to lemmy.world 5 minutes after I registered my account on lemm.ee.

What was more frustrating for me was the fact that the size limit isn’t reported anywhere (not anywhere obvious, anyway) and that Jerboa did not cleanly handle the error, so I had to eventually retry on desktop to realize it was an image size issue. Neither of these things are lemm.ee’s fault

As a web developer, I can appreciate being hesitant about hosting images, for a brand new service that probably currently exists on just one server somewhere. Text is miniscule when it comes to size, but images can balloon quickly, and I don’t know what the protocol would be (if any) for a Lemmy instance to delete images to reclaim space, in a way that wouldn’t cause problems.

My first post I tried linking to imgur but it didn’t display the photo just a link, probably something I did wrong, ended up just uploading with Lemmy instead.

Hosting images on 3rd party sites, kinda the old school way of doing it, I’m totally fine with this method.
