I’m not sure how long it took, but for a while the instance had crashed. For some reason the Lemmy photo upload service took up 150GB of free space and hence the server crashed because of it. I’m not sure about the possibility of recurrence as I don’t know the exact reason.

For this reason, you can follow our Mastodon account, which I have just opened, to follow or report possible crashes.

      It loads like that never end. I tried in the other community, still the same. So, I thought it was a bug maybe. I clean my browser cache multiple times, same result. My internet connection is normal for everything else. This happened since today.

        Are you using Firefox? I had the same issue some days ago. Actually, the real issue was a mistake I made on the name, but on Firefox the error message could not be displayed.

        It could be about the image itself. Right now if Lemmy finds a validation error, it just stucks at loading. Can you send me the image from another platform so I can test it?

            I was able to upload both. I even tried it with a user with only mod permission, it worked again. You’re not the only one with this problem, so there’s still a problem. What browser do you use? Maybe it can be about browser.

              Update :

              I can change it now. It seems that I should choose either “Undetermined” or “English” in the Languages option. So, I choose only “Undetermined”

              At default state, Undetermined and English already checked :

              At least I noticed that when the community has no icon or wants to upload an icon for the first time. Before that, I never did anything in the Languages option and was always successful 'til now

              Well, maybe I just have to wait then. The same browser I used for uploading the communities icon before. I use Brave Browser
