I gave up trying to upload an actual photo and just took a photo of my dinner because I can’t post without a photo. Why does it keep giving me an error? I’ve tried different image sizes.

    I’ve never been able to successfully upload a photo. You can just hotlink to an image hosting site instead by using this format:

     ![](https://example.com/image.jpg)
    

    (You can add an optional alt text in the brackets to help the visually impaired if you like.)

    Edit: What it looks like:

    Which error are you getting? Lemmy can be weird sometimes! If you’re getting an invalid token error the only means of rectifying it that I’ve found is to make the image both small in resolution and also a JPEG.

    Also, thanks for making me hungry! 😂

    Thumbnail showed Meatloaf, mash, and yams. Was pleasantly surprised.
