I frequently encounter the following error when trying to upload images to post: SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

Additional info: jpeg file type, Lemmy web interface, desktop PC, Firefox browser.

Any idea what causes this?

    Maybe? The popup doesn’t say what the character was, just that it was unexpected. Is there some error debug dump log I should look at for more info?

      Use a desktop browser and open the developer tools, specifically the console tab. With the console tab open recreate the error and see if there’s more info output in the console.
