I considered replacing my profile picture, so I went to my settings and tried to upload a new one. At first it looked like it was working, but when I refreshed the page after clicking ‘Save’, nothing happened.
So I turned off my content blocking extensions, allowed Opera to permit trackers, advertisements, and protected content, and I retried to upload my profile picture.
{“data”:{“error”:“rate_limit_error”},“state”:“success”}
I decided to modify my browser to accept all cookies, and this time I tried browsing outside of private mode.
{“data”:{“error”:“rate_limit_error”},“state”:“success”}
At this point I thought ‘fuck it’, switched to Microsoft’s awful Edge browser, and tried to upload my picture from there.
{“data”:{“error”:“rate_limit_error”},“state”:“success”}
Piss, piss, PISS!
ETA: I figured out what the problem is. The page didn’t want to save because the description had too many characters in it.
I don’t think having a link in your description had anything to do with it. I think it’s moreso that the page didn’t want to save because you were passing over a word limit set by Lemmy. At least that was the reason for when I faced the same issue.
