Even if it's less than 100kb, the JSON issue prompts everytime I upload one. How can I resolve this?

Thank you.

I managed to get it working, but I think the issue wasn’t the file size and rather the image dimensions. My image had 1000x1000, scaling it to 250x250 fixed it. (That correlates of course, but the 1000x1000 was already only around 200kb)

Same, same. I think this was done to conserve storage on lemm.ee servers.

This stems from how other instance admins reported issues with scalability of Lemmy's multimedia storage, and the fact it can inflate cloud costs very much.
