I tried anything, including a 1x1 0 quality jpg and webp images which are 538 B and 44 B. Nothing works, everything is “too big”. Could we get avatars enabled? Even if max size is 1 KiB or something generally low.

    I was able to easily do it using the Dev tools in the browser, it’s not very difficult when you know what to look for in the network packets, but for someone who’s not a web developer or worked with json to might be tricky, and might carry some risk if they add them incorrectly (not sure if lemmy prevents corrupting user settings with safeguards but better safe than sorry).

    What would be very nice is if the Client Would just allow for using a URL in place of an upload just like what can be done on posts and comments

      True enough. Browser developer tools have made it pretty easy now, considering you can basically right click on requests and copy them to the clipboard, then paste them in the console… I just figured that I would overlook the correct parameter or something
