It worked
Yay
Could be the 100kb limit.
There's no way it's that low
100kB I believe, so not 100kb, but still low.
However maybe some instances have increase it locally.
Still that would be incredibly low for today's standards where images can weigh multiple megabytes compressed. I think 5-12 megabytes per image would be a reasonable limit.
I think the idea is to keep instance hosting down so as to minimise strain on the servers. Again, it probably does vary by instance. Reddit never used to host anything in the early days, that's what imgur was for.
Hahahahah this shit made my day, now i need to rewatch it
This image never fails to make me chuckle, its so funny.
