hi all!

this is kinda a test post/help request/bug report

I tried to post an image to [email protected], which is then uploaded to the local instance (sopuli). link itself is working, but the preview/thumbnail in the post isn’t showing up and the image isn’t accessible that way.

I tried through Jerboa and now through the web frontend, but no luck either.

so, I’ll try to post another picture of Loki to try if it’s because of the remote instance or whatever is happening.

if anyone has an idea… I’m running out of them

edit: ok, at least for me the image doesn’t show either. is this just me or anyone else having the same issue?

edit 2: I’ve made a successful test of an image post, that wasn’t created with my Pixel 7 Pro and that one shows without issue

I guess, I’m hitting a limit somewhere or maybe some meta data causes a hiccup. size wise the images aren’t really big (1.5MB, 1.8MB). so, not really sure what the issue could be

edit 3: well, I’ve tried ‘Scrambled EXIF’ and ‘Exif Eraser’ and at least that didn’t change a thing. when I let the image through Signal, where AFAIK EXIF data gets removed and also done compression is done, I can post the image.

edit 4: to verify it’s the file size, I tried now with a downloaded hd picture (3.5MB) and that one doesn’t show either. here is the test post: https://sopuli.xyz/post/640216
maybe it’s not even a limit on the file size, but a transmission timeout?

I think this is currently the end of my testing, as I can’t think of much more test cases.

edit 5: nope, large picture just took more time and shows correctly bitte. must be something with the Pixel 7 Pro
