  • Thanks! I now see me question was useless… Sorry… I did read “load” not “upload”. When I tested uploading a larger image file (2.44 MiB) I got a HTTP timeout error.

    I agree that these upload errors are probably due to large filesize. We should find out whether there is a maximum file size on Lemmy in general, whether it’s instance specific or if it’s actually a problem with Jerboa.

    Edit: Looks like the root cause is not Jerboa but Lemmy:

    https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3349

    Maybe let the Lemmy people sort this out first and then we’ll find a way to communicate the actual upload limit to Jerboa users.








  • I’m trying to make is that jerboa might not be as ready as we think for being a lemmy client.

    I’m one of those random guys who try to improve things submitting a PR now and then fucking up things in the progress and trying to fix them again.

    What I want to say is: I think you might be right saying Jerboa might not be as ready as many think. It started as a side project of one of the two guys who develop Lemmy full time. Dessalines even writes in Jerboa’s README that people can submit issues but he will most likely not be able to work on them.

    Now Lemmy exploded: A lot of people started contributing to Jerboa (including me) with vastly varying skill levels (me definitely on the lower end), there’s no clear route the app will go in the future, no or little standards we can use as orientation.

    And actually I’m not surprised at all that Jerboa might not be ready because this app went from “Just a little side project with 150 stars on GitHub on June 3” to “Probably most popular Lemmy client with 787 stars on June 27”. This has been less than four weeks. I don’t think any project is able to adapt to this influx of requests, changes, attention in this short time.
