Hi I'm getting an error when trying to submit photos to my community - wondering if anyone else is, and where I would go to get support!

I'm getting the following error when trying to upload a photo to lemmy: "SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data". Anyone else? Who would I even talk to about this?

I've got the same issue.

I'm pretty new to lemmy in general and have no idea who to ask about this. The github repo "issues" forum? I see no links to talk to a developer about this. I actually get this error all the time when I'm writing my backend apps, but I have no idea how that knowledge would apply to this.

Yeah! I got the same here.

Here's an image of what's going on in the console: https://imgur.com/a/8N4GHbu. It's a 400 bad request.

And here is the response in the console: "Request error: error sending request for url (http://pictrs:8080/image): operation timed out". From my very loose understanding, this is maybe a server issue.

Generally most communities wont allow to upload photos. Try imgur

I created the community and it does allow photo uploads.

^^ Right now you'll just have to upload it to somewhere else (imgbb, catbox, etc) and attach it manually ![text](link)
