Every time I upload a photo I get a syntax error message. I can continue and make the post but no photo is available and then when I click on the post it just links back to itself. This has been happening 2-3 days now. Yesterday it also seemed to be affecting photos I have uploaded within the past 10 days. The photos would just not load. As far as I know comments are fine, but I mostly post images to the few communities I interact with.
I know you’re posting from lemmy.world but maybe it’s related to the same issue as in lemm.ee, see:
Thanks that’s probably it.
This is probably because yesterday some a**holes started posting some CSAM. Large servers disabled image posting.
Thanks for the heads up, I heard about that but didn’t think it would cause problems this far reaching. I just post about action figures and Lego mostly but completely understand the need here to curtail that issue as quickly as possible.
Maybe you can still upload the image to, say, imgur and get Lemmy to show it
Does this affect existing image posts? A few of my posts are acting weird, when I edit them I can see that the image is there but when I just view the post normally it’s like it doesn’t exist.
Read the previous posts about this, they explain what’s going on
Thanks
Almost positive it’s due to the CSAM issues lemmy.world and other instances were having. They might have disabled direct uploads.
This also affects uploads for, say, an icon for a community.
I just got this error–but was able to post the photo if I did so via lemmy.film.
