      I’d love being able to just upload my 4.6MB image and getting it reduced down to sub 2MB, but I have to do that manually because Jerboa & co doesn’t do it nor accept bigger images than 2MB.

      Am I missing something?

        Naah, Upload limit is instance wise like lemm.ee have 500kb. So, no it will not take 1mb file and reduce it to 500kb or less. That’s why I don’t even rely on default lemm.ee image upload. I just use my paid private image hoster.

          I have my own lemmy instance with pictrs, still can’t use bigger images. Maybe it’s a hard limit or else every other instance will deny the “too big image”?

          I’m okay with that limit, it’s just a hassle you can’t share a bigger image and have it reduced in size automatically.

    If someone really wants a RAW image of my crusty ass dog, for some reason, you can ask me to send it over something else. It’s a waste of bandwidth for the majority of photos, which are view once per person, and never again. Nobody can host that much data for free without some big catch.

    Dog.
