  • I’ll have to check if pictrs added some gif upload attributes to their settings. I think I remember seeing an option. I’ll try fixing this today!

    Edit:

    Yea it’s set to 256x256 max. Not sure what a great max size should be… I’ll bump it to 512 for now, but we can always use external URLs as well that are larger.

    Edit 2:

    Bumped max size to 512 and removed pixel count all together. Tested below. If we need more than 512, we can bump it. Photo storage is sorta an issue but we should be good for a while.

    Edit 3:

    Also, it kinda sucks that lemmy-ui doesn’t just bubble up that error in a toast or something. I get it on Voyager for iOS as an error “Image too wide/tall” or “Too many pixels” so I know it’s in the response.

















  • In total, it’s not something I’m having an issue paying. I’m not a fan of talking about my personal life, but I did get laid off about 6 months ago so it is an expense for me, but I think something is just around the corner. Moving to a new place soon and have a job lined up that should help.

    BUT… since you asked, and I don’t have any plans to put up a KoFi or whatever to ask for donations, our instance currently:

    • linode server: $144/month
    • .radio TLD: $30/year
    • email $10/month

    So not too bad, not great either. After I’ve moved and things settle down, my goal is to try to migrate our photos to AWS and downgrade us to a server that’s back at ~$75.

    I appreciate the ask, but we’re good for now! I enjoy running this instance and seeing everyone use it.

  • Yea the language setting makes absolutely no sense to me. As for the messaging between mastadon and here: doesn’t work for me either. Maybe lemmy doesn’t correctly parse DMs from other services? It’s good at nesting messages but DMs may be something it doesn’t quite get yet. Or maybe it’s straight broken 🙃
