Every time I try to upload an image to Lemmy, an error occurs. Any ideas?

you can use external hosting and then embed with ! [ alt_text ] ( website_link ) <--- no spaces

example: lolwtf

I would assume it also supports base64 encoded image uri s?

People abused the feature for obscenely alarming purposes so it's temporarily shut down.

Thanks. This is why we can’t have nice things.

Edit: Sorry the mods have to look at that stuff.

That's alright. You can still at least put images in comments by posting ! and then [image text] and then (image link) as an HTML thing, but it will always be from another website.

For example, if you do that and put the link at https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/02252a0d-838a-4bf3-9bb2-aac3bd34a0bb/detlo4f-73e86dea-8056-4437-9b99-a33662b417bb.png/v1/fill/w_867,h_720,q_80,strp/haaaaaand_by_fuzzy_mutant_detlo4f-fullview.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9NzIwIiwicGF0aCI6IlwvZlwvMDIyNTJhMGQtODM4YS00YmYzLTliYjItYWFjM2JkMzRhMGJiXC9kZXRsbzRmLTczZTg2ZGVhLTgwNTYtNDQzNy05Yjk5LWEzMzY2MmI0MTdiYi5wbmciLCJ3aWR0aCI6Ijw9ODY3In1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmltYWdlLm9wZXJhdGlvbnMiXX0.p7BMYRt5v-i2pC7Kmzb17mf-T9zUW7eO1N1itJ9kujg into the "image link" part, you get the following image...

This is how it would look if I was saying "talk to the hand".

I've found that I can't post images from a front-end, but I can if I do it directly on the instance from the browser.

Your image might be too large, some instances have size restrictions.
