How to get lemmy to not crop images?
-
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.

Every image has a size of 1200 x675 and a 16:9 rendered aspect ratio after upload, not accurate for before upload at all
-
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.
-
Just curious because I'm thinking about self-hosting, if you self-host an instance why are you not posting from your account there?
-
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

The larger communities like this are more likely to have more instances to show up on their all feed
-
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

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.

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.

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.

mine defaulted on i had to remove it

@[email protected] thiiink it was here:
/var/www/lemmy/pict-rs/pict-rs.toml
-
Hmm maybe the upstream defaults of pict-rs changed

Check your language settings. Usually that means you have the language that the comments are tagged with disabled. (Usually either English or Uncategorized is disabled)

yunohost fork must have this enabled
