Hi, I've been trying to upload an avatar for the past 10 min unsuccessfully (this also goes for the banner btw).

My avatar is, at this point, 3.7kb... After massive compressing. It is a jpg.

This seems like it should be small enough by all metrics, I can't even compress the image any more than this. And yet I still get "file too large" error messages.

Is there something specifically about lemm.ee that I should know about image uploads? Is it the file format? Or just a bug?

The admins disabled image uploads due to a major Lemmy issue. I think the issue is partially resolved so we really should message the admins and tell them to open it up again.
