Tested it again just now. It says "uploaded image is too large". Tried it again with a picture that was one pixel by one pixel. Still I get the same warning.
It's been like this for a month (due to Lemmy disabling the feature to combat people posting risque material). They did this by reducing the maximum image size to zero.
Your instance probably has a very low upload size limit
Edit: lemm.ee has a limit of like 100kb.
The picture I tested it with was 49kb. I just tested it again to make sure, it still doesn't work.
I know it plays a role though, and it kinda sucks too, Lemmy told me specifically to sign up for this instance because when I was making this account, the other instances were becoming overbooked with people trying to sign up and it was causing too much server stress. And it's not like I can just transfer everything to a new account.
Can just use an external image host in the meantime.
How do I do this again? I probably know the answer but want to make sure.

Great Scott! It works!
By the way, that's a botched ice cream pancake attempt from yours truly.
Testing again to make sure...
It works but it all loads slowly when you put in multiples. Not a problem though, even though I was testing that.
That will be available in the next version of lemmy IIRC.
