Can't upload images to comments anymore
since the outage, I haven't been able to upload images to comments. I can still post external links to images, but I can't upload new images anymore.

I figured the feature was nixed temporarily due to the exploits. I've lost all post tools in the comment section.
Uploading via the voyager app still works. I've found that I just use Piefed on my phone most times since it's such a richer experience than the desktop ui/ux.
Perhaps it's an account specific thing on your end then. That was uploaded through the Voyager app from my phone
OK, so from what I have ascertained, it has something to do with the temporarily imposed quotas on all user accounts and that I’ve definitely hit mine, but it is something more complicated that the admin is dealing with, but I haven’t heard back from him since we discussed it so…
Yeah…
But I really appreciate you at least getting me partway there. 😊
I use the Mlem app for iOS, and it's borked there, just like on web. maybe voyager used its own apis. I have the voyager app for macOS, so I can try that
edit: nope— i get a "quota exceeded" error
guess we just have to wait and be patient. I still don't have much detail past the one post about exactly what went down, but I hope they get their stuff sorted soon. and I hope it wasn't too bad
quota exceeded is a very useful error message, that means it's likely an issue specific to the amount of media uploaded by your user. i'll have to check how upload quota is determined, but this is is not something we have customized. i suspect that this was intentionally changed with one of the version updates, probably not accounting well enough for people commenting as much as you do. it should not be related to the recent vulnerabilities.
This is not the typical error message I get, just the one I happened to get when I tried to upload via the Voyager app on macOS (which is, I think, running the iOS app via emulation). I typically use the Mlem app on iOS which throws this error message:
Optional(DecodingError.keyNotFound: Key 'url' not found in keyed decoding container. Debug description: No value associated with key CodingKeys(stringValue: "url", intValue: nil) ("url").)I hope THAT message is useful, too, although maybe moreso to the Mlem devs
when I try to upload via the web interface (in Safari), I get the generic "Upload failed. Please try again" error in the image upload box.
it seems like voyager might be the only one displaying it correctly?
assuming that voyager is indeed displaying it correctly, that would indicate that mlem isn't handling the error correctly, as it seems to unconditionally try to access the url of the upload and failing to do so.
the web interface is probably also just not exposing the error message correctly.
you should be able to see your upload volume here: https://piefed.world/user/files
the default limit in piefed is 50MB, which is rather easily reached. can you please confirm if you're indeed hitting that limit?
it this daily? weekly? ugh... monthly?
can it be raised?
I understand the recent exploit troubles. I really do hope this is temporary...
all time - seems like a design flaw. i'll look at raising an issue on the piefed issue tracker in the coming days.
i've raised the limit for now.
ok, so I have definitely hit my quota. sorry?
edit: you might wanna mention something to the Mlem folk, but if you have a lot on your plate, I can do it.
would be great if you could report it
Reports from pie fed instances don’t get fed back to let me instances for some reason. Those guys don’t really pay much attention to that sort of stuff.
I got some stories for you, but it seemed really busy. Maybe another time, buddy
I can still link images I've already uploaded, though
