Can't submit images (midwest.social)

I am axtive in communities that requite uploading images, but i haven't been able to properly upload any images using Sync in months. The communities are across multiple instances, so I believe it is a Sync issue.

You won't get a response from the dev in a reasonable amount of time by posting here. Best odds are making a Github issue

Is he still developing? He told the discord about an update dropping in a week like 1.5 months ago and then just disappeared :⁠0

I stopped using the lemm.ee instance because picture uploads are limited to 100kb. I only got a "failed" error from Sync, had to Google it to find out

Could be that

It's that. I got around it by using an image compressor.

What device? I've never had a problem.

I'm on a Galaxy A32. Everything is currently up to date, but i cant upload images from my phone gallery.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Check your instances limitations on file size. That could be a reason. I use an image compressor to get around my instances size limit.

Just downloaded Voyager and had zero issues uploading the same images i have been trying to post. Definitely a Sync for Android issue.

Seeing the same issue this morning, sure it was working quite recently though.

EDIT - yep, posted a gif 4 days ago and an image a week ago, so something has changed since then.

EDIT 2 - trying that same image again:

And that seems to work. Filesize maybe? Or extension (my first attempt today was a jpg, that one is a png)?

EDIT 3 - jpg, 1.5Mb:

Success. That's a smaller version of an image that failed to post. Bigger version was 2.9Mb, so maybe there's a limit?

In case it helps...
