I have just tried to change my user avatar from my browser and no matter what image format I try to use be it png or jpg it quickly flashes up some json error. I cannot even change it from the Android app.

Try to Squoosh the image down and retry. A lot of those errors are generally from an image being too large for what the instance has set.

I am trying to upload 790 byte and 96x96px sized avatar icon and it still fails. I get pop up "Saved" but it doesn't seem to change anything

Edit: I am getting this error in mozilla console

SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data client.js:2:1776766

Edit2: I tested this on chromium as well, both tests done on Arch Linux, error:
