I can't upload any kind of image to Lemmy. Regardless of device I use, iPhone/Voyager or Mac/Firefox, I get this HTTP 403 error. The issue persists regardless of which wireless network I am connected to.

This is obviously a false positive. Is there someone I can talk to about unblocking me?

Some instances are disabling image uploads temporarily until they can deal with the trash that's uploading CSAM.

Not certain if lemmy.world is one of them.

Upload to imgur, copy the image link and post that (the link ending in .jpg/.webp, not the plain imgur link) for the time being.

Had someone ask how, so I'll drop this here too:

When you finish uploading to imgur, you're brought to a full webpage with the image embedded in it like this:

https://imgur.com/a/SzSKW5M

You want to right-click on the image and select 'open image in new tab' which gives you this:

https://i.imgur.com/GFTwYm3.jpg

(if you're on mobile first select 'desktop site' from the browsers options or you'll get a low quality .webp version from the open image button. It'll work, but many ppl hate it)

Finally format it like this to embed it in a post/comment:

![](https://i.imgur.com/GFTwYm3.jpg)

(I added backslashes to the front of that to prevent it embedding the link as an image and show you the formatting instead)

For Imgur on mobile you can actually get the full quality image url by doing as you said, with one extra step:

  • request desktop site
  • tap image (opens full quality image)
  • long press image -> Copy Link

This will provide a direct link to the full quality jpg/png rather than the low quality webp

That's unnecessary. When viewing the page with 'desktop site' enabled, it already loads the full quality jpg/png. Tapping/clicking on it just expands that file to fill the screen, it doesn't load a new file.

Webp is only used on the mobile site.

(at least that's the results I get re-testing just now via chrome and forefox android)
