    For me, the image uploads but I get the error when I try to post.

    I found that if I remove the script around the hyperlink that makes it display, I can post the link to the lemmy-uploaded image. (Removing the ! [] And ( ) symbols).

    Also Making the explanation mark start at a new line sometimes works.

    At present it’s my only work around.

    For example.

      you mean creating or updating a post with embedded images is causing issues in some cases?

        Its the initial upload of the image. The 500 problem happens regardless if it’s a fresh comment or an edited comment trying to add the image.

        Sometimes it happens. Sometimes it doesn’t. Im not sure what the factor is but i only upload jpgs and pngs so it’s not a file type causing it.

        I just tried now and it worked.

        Weird.

        It definitely has not been working for me for most of the last 7 days or so. The only way I could post was to remove the ! And []

        Next time it happens I’ll take a screenshot of the error and include the image linked to imgur or something if I can’t get it to post.
