Shit cost money for any platform.
Even Lemmy convert images to .webp?
I'd love being able to just upload my 4.6MB image and getting it reduced down to sub 2MB, but I have to do that manually because Jerboa & co doesn't do it nor accept bigger images than 2MB.
Am I missing something?
Naah, Upload limit is instance wise like lemm.ee have 500kb. So, no it will not take 1mb file and reduce it to 500kb or less. That's why I don't even rely on default lemm.ee image upload. I just use my paid private image hoster.
I have my own lemmy instance with pictrs, still can't use bigger images. Maybe it's a hard limit or else every other instance will deny the "too big image"?
I'm okay with that limit, it's just a hassle you can't share a bigger image and have it reduced in size automatically.
How large?
Lemy.lol have 10mb.
2MB it is.
It's still compressesed on mastodon , I tried to post a 3072 x 4080 2mb jpeg and when downloaded from the post it's now a 2499x3319 500k jpeg
Depends on the server, and I pretty much understand service providers why they're doing it, although it would be nice to buy some high-quality slots from them, as a way to support them.
It honestly probably isn't worth it for them. They don't want the hassle of having to deal with two different tiers of image hosting, especially when they're not primarily trying to be an image host
Yeah but Mastodon is a right wing cess pool
Mastodon is federated and has instances that have varying politics
