Honestly, it makes sense that Lemmy refuses to use SVG as profile picture, as they can be used for XSS.

Theoretically .svg-s are parseable, so it is possible to prevent or remove javascript from them programmatically.

Your instance name made me burst out laughing +1 to whatever is going on here

Try using Image Toolbox (Android FOSS) or something else to convert it to a PNG?
