Issues posting images (lemmy.ml)

Using the web UI on lemmy.ml (BE:0.18.0) from firefox browser for iPad (v114.2) iPadOS v16.5.

When I try to create a post with images using the image icon in the Body section of the create post dialog, the UI prompts to select the image but the image URL is not inserted and the [Preview] does not show the image. After attempting to insert the image several times I will get an error in the bottom right that looks like JSON data with “rate exceeded” in it. I’m assuming this is because the instance server is telling me I tried to upload to much to fast, which would lead me to think that the URLs are getting created on the backend but not being brought to the UI. Has anyone else run into this issue? Any workarounds?

Update: It seems to have been a browser issue. After waiting 20min or so and clearing the cache then restarting the browser I was able to post without the issue.

Or the rate limiter has a 20min window

Not having this error, but I'm getting an error uploading images with a JSON syntax '<' unexpected token error. Also on 0.18.0. Other folks having an issue on my home instance as well, unexpected character error, and someone found a limitation on file size that they could upload (1 MB).

Yes, I am getting that issue as well. That seems to happen on anything that causes a page refreash on lemmy.ml
