Troubleshooting Lemmy: How to Fix Image/Avatar Upload Issues and Configure Network Proxies
When uploading an avatar in Lemmy, the following error appears in the bottom left corner:
Error Message
Browser error message:
{"data":{"error":"unknown","message":"error decoding response body: EOF while parsing a value at line 1 column 0"},"state":"success"}
Response status code: 400
Cause of the Problem
Based on the error message, it is speculated to be a network issue. Upon inspecting the docker-compose configuration, a http proxy testing configuration added a few days ago was discovered. After removing the proxy, the image upload worked normally.
Solutions
Quick Fix: Repair the Network
If there is a network proxy, simply repairing the network connection should resolve the issue.
