    This doesn’t sound like the sort of size errors I run into, but there are definitely image size limits (not quite sure if its dimensions or sheer file size) in Lemmy - have you tested with some small images?

      Idk what it was but it fixed hours later an I was able to post an image. Must’ve been on the server side. Never had the problem before and always posted png’s.

        Well, I’m glad it’s working now, even if knowing the cause might have been useful.

    Hello,

    this should be resolved for now. Unfortunately the root cause is still not clear and will require some additional investigation.

      It seems to accept screenshots of the image I am trying to upload. If I screenshot it and crop it, it uploads without fail. So it seems to be related to either file type or size. The thing is,I didn’t start having this problem until this post and before it was working fine. I wonder if it is because of an update or something.

        Are you still having issues or just describing what you’ve experienced before?

        We know why the error you’re seeing is happening, as that’s a caused by reaching a limit, we just don’t know yet why the limit is being filled up by other stuff yet.

          It happened to me once in the last week about a week ago. I just posted and it was uploading fine. Occasionally, it acts up and I might have to use the screenshot trick but not for a week has it done this behavior again.

    A 500 error is generally a server side error. If you have tried multiple images and aren’t using some oddball format (use the Linux “file” command to validate the image format). Then I’d reach out to the server admin.

      I am not well versed with VPNs. But I am on my mom’s wifi and she has a VPN on. Does that effect this? My phone has no VPN installed but my mom’s PC has one on. Do VPNs effect all devices connected to the same wifi?

      Nevermind. I tried uploading it with only a data connection and it still gave error. The problem isn’t the VPN. My mom doesn’t know if her VPN is installed on her PC or the router she has but it has to be a server side error.

        If it’s for work, it’s nearly certainly on only her work machine and does not affect the rest of the network.

        Part of the purpose of a work VPN is to only allow work machines in, and your personal devices don’t qualify.
