Error message is SyntaxError: Unexpected token ‘R’, “Request er”… is not valid JSON

Are image uploads not allowed here? Only URLs? Thanks! Hoping this community grows and flourishes! :)

    That is odd… Can you upload the image to imgur.com, post it, and then I can try to upload it myself to see what happens?

        I was able to upload it with both an admin and a non-admin account:

        One idea: microscopy image files can be very big. Perhaps imgur compressed it considerably, and that’s why I was able to upload it after downloading it from there. How big is the original file that you tried uploading?

            No, I just tested. The .tif format is not supported by lemmy. When it is uploaded to imgur it is transformed into a .png, so it works then!

                Then I think it may be a problem with startrek.website

          original image is 3.9Mb, its a tif made from the z stacks of the super huge .lsm files. is 3.9Mb too big for here? Sorry, I’m a new reddit refugee, learning how this lemmy thing works :)

            Ah, sorry, I thought you had already looked at that. I deleted the test post after a bit - it was simply a post of the image made by a test account.
