pressing "save" in my settings page does nothing, not even show a popup telling me something failed. it's been that way for a few months at least, since april of this year i think.

i've tried modifying and saving my profile in other clients, and it seems to work there! i can change my bio and username without issues.

however, something i can't do, in any client, is change my profile picture, which is unfortunate since mine has been broken* for some time. in the default lemmy ui, as i said, pressing the save button does nothing. however, i've also tried to change my profile picture in tesseract and blorp, and both complain about an invalid url when trying to save the profile pic. both can save other settings tho, and image upload works fine, as the images i try to set appear in my uploads tab. using the js console, i can see that changing the profile pic does a PUT https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/api/v3/user/save_user_settings request, which fails (error 400). trying to change the banner image has the same problem. this happens no matter the browser or device i try this on.

is this also a problem for other people?

* (i've since removed my profile pic in blorp, which is why i've got the default lemmy profile pic now instead of a broken image icon)

(i'm sorry if this kind of post is not allowed, if not i'll delete no worries 😅)

tangentially related, but i also can't seem to be able to delete any of my media uploads, either in the lemmy ui or photon (the only other client that allows you do do this afaik). trying to do this is what broke my profile pic, i think, since i tried to delete another upload of the same image as my profile pic, and since then it's been broken.
