Uploading image post count towards my 50 MB quota (piefed.ca)

On PieFed, I have an image upload quota of 50 MB. When I upload an image post to a community on desktop, it doesn't count towards that quota.

But If I made the exact same image post through the app, it counts towards the 50 MB quota.

I believe it should only count towards the quota if it's uploaded as an image in the comment section or the body of a thread. Not when the image is uploaded as a post itself.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Sorry for the late reply. I did not know about this quota. I can look into it for the next release.

No worries! And thank you for looking into this!

Maybe a dumb question but how do I view my upload quota on Lemmy.ca?

[-] Lenna@piefed.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

It's not on Lemmy.ca, but on Piefed.ca. :)

You can view your quota here: Account > View profile > Files.

Whoops typo. I meant piefed.ca. Thank you!

Anytime! Let me know if there's anything I can help with. :)

Looked into the API and I don't see anything that might be relevant. I think unfortunately this is only available for web and not for mobile yet :(

Ah, bugger. I upload pics often so was hoping I can do it on mobile without using up my quota. Thanks for looking into this!
