Even 1080p is failing. Got 480p to upload. Lemmy.world has no problem uploading full size images from iphone.

I believe the limit is 1MB on all instances by default so should be what our current limit is as well

No it’s definitely higher on Lemmy.world. I uploaded the same image from there successfully (6.6mb). The limit seems to be on the resolution itself. I just exported the same image in the same resolution (4032x3024) but downscaled to 1.4mb and I’m still getting the too big error on programming.dev

Edit: I could swear your comment said 2mb.

yeah lemmy.world probably overrided the default limit with something higher. We havent done so yet so will still be on the default

I think 1MB is too low for a good user experience. Having to first have to first downscale images taken from the phone is a big point of friction for mobile users.

You can upload images to third party sites and post the link instead.
