Just deleted my Reddit account after 4 years due to being wrongly banned for ban evasion and having all my appeals either rejected or ignored. Hope Lemmy’s a better place
(I first posted this on my .ee account but I’m switching to .world now so I’m reposting this here)
Oh really? I read somewhere that it was 100kb. It doesn’t really matter though as I couldn’t post any inages
The image uploads are disabled for accounts younger than 4 weeks to defend against spam. That most likely is the reason why. This info is available in the sidebar of the instance.
500kb limit is crazy though, most images are larger
Well, the storage and bandwidth for the images is not free. I encourage you to use external image hosting services, like catbox.moe. You should know that these instances are run by individuals like you and me, with no ads, no selling your personal data, etc.
Then you can embed them using this markdown syntax:
In most Lemmy apps, there is an interactive UI for your convenience.
You also might consider self hosting your own private instance, like me and a few hundred others. Then you have full control over your instance and with which instances you federate with.
