I guess the title basically says it all. Anyone know how to post gifs, like you would post an image? Can you do that?

More info: I tried just uploading it the way I would upload an image and it somehow didn’t work. I’m not sure why. I’m doing it from my laptop, so it’s not a mobile issue.

Thanks!

        With one of the latest updates to the Lemmy software the default upload size limit was made 1MB

        Your admin might not have realized this, but likely yes - your file is too large. I set the limit to 10MB on my instance. @[email protected] - have you set the upload size limit?

        In the meantime though you can upload the file somewhere else and just use that.

        catbox.moe allows up to 200mb, no account needed. Just copy the link it gives you and paste it as the post URL

          Ohh 1MB is too small. I’ll look into that

            Just add a line like client_max_body_size 10M; to your nginx.conf under the http header

              That’s set to 40MB already
