Follow-up to previous post (5 months prior).

I still get an error if I try to upload a picture larger than the upload size limit:

{"data":{"files":null,"msg":"Too many pixels"},"state":"success"}

From the comments in the previous thread, it seems like implementing automatic image compression is contingent on a newer version of pict-rs, maybe? There was mention of a test instance, but I’m not sure if anything came of that.

Is there any progress which has been or could be made on this front?

I think that this is feature especially important for onboarding new users, who might not be aware of the upload size limit and just think “Lemmy doesn’t work, I guess I’ll go back to Reddit”.

      Hey, basically, I’d need to test this in a test instance first rather than testing live to avoid breaking everything.
      I don’t have an ETA on that, sorry, I know it’s been a while now.

        That sounds prudent :)

        No worries! Anything I can do to help?
