I'm using Jerboa and I can make posts and reply to comments and everything, but if I try to post an image anywhere I get a weird error "end of input at character 0 of". What am I doing wrong?

ive been posting big ones on IPFS (a federated file storage network) and linking them. really might be the better way to send files around fedi. Reduces load on instances.

I could put the pictures on Imgur and post the URLs instead. I'm seeing a lot of Imgur links on here lol

you sure can use imgur. also a free account at https://www.pinata.cloud/ or any other IPFS provider will let you use file storage that works similar to the fediverse itself.
