I self hosted an instance at is.hardlywork.ing, my images are getting cropped and losing the top and bottom 25% of the the image, leaving me a zoomed in rectangle. I tried on web browser, phone app, etc. same issue uploading any 1920x1080 photo.
This must be something the admin of that instance has deliberatly added to their pict-rs config, as this isn’t done by default but the feature exists.
Edit: so you yourself must have added this 😝
mine defaulted on i had to remove it
Hmm maybe the upstream defaults of pict-rs changed 🤔
@[email protected] thiiink it was here: /var/www/lemmy/pict-rs/pict-rs.toml
I chased this for a bit, would need to be home to get the actual config file name, but there’s a preprocessing key that I had to disable to make it stop cropping.
If the person asking about why I dont use that instance to post, its because I see no comments here even tho I see the post and have no idea if yall will see this yet lol
I see this comment…
good to know lol
Just curious because I’m thinking about self-hosting, if you self-host an instance why are you not posting from your account there?
The larger communities like this are more likely to have more instances to show up on their all feed
The reason for this is you must manually federate with any instances you want to see. According to this you need to paste in the links you want into the search on the site and then it will start to pull from those instances after that point.
Just made it yesterday, stuff is just starting to show up more consistently, I made it so I can upload images without issue or so I thought lol. I just used the first one I was logged in on my phone, ill prob keep using this one til im done subbing to more placss, and even then swap between them in case I miss stuff
It’s doing a 16:9 crop (exactly the same edit when checking with photo editor), is there any way to avoid this?
Is there any website that automatically adds a background/padding to an image when changing the aspect ratio so It doesn’t crop out any content? A bit of a hassle to do for a lemmy post every time.
