Do you also have image upload issues sometimes? I have posted a screenshot of how it looks when it fails. It is a known bug -> https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1489

Do you maybe know how to get around it, and still be able to upload the image?

There is a correlation with file size. The picture I tried to upload was particularly big - about 20MB I think - so I probably should have downsized it anyway. There was no problem with uploading the few KB big screenshot.

20MB is the max size so it's probably an issue with file size rather than a timeout or something along those lines. It's interesting that our webserver didn't block the connection before adding it to pictrs.

If it works with a smaller image please let us know.

It works with a smaller (450KB) image ~

Maybe interesting or not but I've been using .webp images as an alternative to .png, as they offer the same lossless quality at almost half the size sometimes, or .webp at 99% quality, which will of course give huge savings in file size while keeping all the relevant details unless pixel peeping of course.
