it’d be nice if it automatically scales the image to lower resolution and put a warning “this image will be downscaled to fit within filesize limits”
We’ll figure out this limit. Just keep reducing file size by half and increasing by a quarter. I have some vacation days to burn.
Fun. What app is that?
Avelon, it’s a lemmy iOS app.
Software dev here.
Client app have little to no knowledge about server limit.
Usually the limit is set at various places in the server. Even the server app itself does not know it’s file size limit most of the time.
Anyway the screenshot is still worthy of the topics.
No hard feelings, I hope! I love the app, the screenshot was just too good to pass up! :)
Not the avelon dev. Just a nobody software dev.

Here is the faq related to what I am talking about.
https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-bsd-nginx-413-request-entity-too-large/
Server (application) does not know the site upload limit because it was set by reverse proxy. Any of them could reply with http 413 status and client will just show you the message like screenshot.
I‘m guessing the API doesn’t return that info and it‘s different from instance to instance. Other clients also don’t show it. I noticed that it is also a question of dimensions, not just file size. But a terrible experience all around. I gave up and been using Imgur ever since.
I can’t remember which instance, but I did see a post from the admin of an instance who said they had to limit basically anything bigger than the avatar because they didn’t want to be a host for questionable material. I imagine a lot of instances have similar “no image hosting” policy.
Didn’t expect to see my own app in softwaregore 🥲
If it’s any consolation the error is just straight from the API
Sorry, I love the app, just couldn’t resist screenshot. ;)
Keep up good work!
I’m sorry for you.
There is a stray by where I live with a fluffy black cat just like this one. Do you know what the breed is?
Cat

A lot of cats you see don’t have a breed like dogs. This one is probably a domestic long hair black cat, aka a cat
