Not trying to tell anyone what to do, but a 12mb pic might be a bit of a burden for the Fediverse to federate. Particularly when it could be a tiny fraction of that size and still get the job done.
Looks like it actually did. It seems it downsized the dimensions & detail until it's now a mere 275k large. Hopefully that's the version that federated.
I'm guessing I was worried over nothing much, and sorry to bother you. Thanks for the share!
I think it's kinda unrealistic to put this burden on the user. If big images are an issue, then Lemmy/PieFed should compress images, either on the client side or at the API level.

Agreed. I'm instinctively a bit concerned over this stuff due to being an old git pretty much trained by the hardware of the day. Back in the day.
