Unable to post images - Jerboa & Firefox

This is a new problem for me that started a couple days ago. Using Jerboa and Firefox, I'm unable to post images on this instance. I am able to post images to the same communities using a different instance account. I am getting "network error" and Java errors (I'm unable to see the full error) while using Jerboa. On Firefox, I get an "image too large" error for 12 MB (edit: not GB, that'd be a huge image) images (not sure the limit) but "SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data" at smaller image sizes. I was able to post images on this instance before this. My Jerboa app is up to date. Any solution?

  • I recently changed the file size limit from 20 MB to 8 MB, maybe that caused the file size problem? I just changed it to 15 MB. But if your smaller file failed too, then I'm not so sure... Do others have this same issue?

    • Oooo I meant 12 MB for the image I was trying to upload earlier, not GB! That'd be a big image, haha.

      I am still getting "network error"/"timeout" errors on Jerboa when uploading smaller images. I can deal with the limit if I know what it is. Even my smallest images (255 KB) are getting this error on Jerboa.

      • I have checked and I get this error too in Jerboa when uploading to Mander but not Lemmy.ml... I will investigate, thanks.

        For the browser you only had the problem with the 12MB file, right?

    • I'm having a different/similar issue today (didn't try yesterday), both Jerboa and Firefox. I get the error "SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data" on Firefox and an error that looks similar to the "too big" error on Jerboa (though the full error doesn't show). It's happening with pretty small images. What's up? 😅

      • Strange... Nothing should have changed (actually, I changed the settings back to 20 Mb), and space is fine. I've rebooted the server to see if that helps...
