~~One wrinkle, i can usually copy entire articles, including images, and paste these as comments in piefed~~. Turns out i was misremembering and this still ~~fails~~. Actually it did work once with the Wikipedia fediverse article, but failed the lego 404 article.

I will post some test comments below from piefed blahaj, Lemmy blahaj, and retrofed (piefed).

Please let me know if you have any insights or anything else to try.

Edit - It worked for me directly in the default Piefed interface

It consistently fails on this account (sem) but works on my other account (postsfromwikipedia).

Sounds like it is a bug of some kind... :(

Testing on Summit rather than Blorp gives me more data: quota exceeded. I guess that mystery is solved now bit raises a new one (what is the quota -- probably better not to know the answer).

Trying a different piefed blahaj account

The Fediverse (commonly shortened to fedi)^[2][3][4]^ is a collection of social networking services that can communicate with each other (formally known as federation) using a common protocol. Users of different websites can send and receive status updates, multimedia files and other data across the network. The term Fediverse is a portmanteau of federation and universe.^[5]^

Proposed symbol for the Fediverse from 2018, the "fedigram"^[1]^

Works fine here.

If i specifically copy the fediverse logo image from the Wikipedia page, and try to paste it, i get 400 bad request

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Also can't upload it

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago

But Lemmy can.

I was wrong, copying and pasting an article with an image also fails on blahaj piefed, but works in lemmy

HTTP errors are very common, whether it’s due to server or client issues. They come with black-and-white pages that don’t look appealing — turning away potential customers and hurting your bottom line.

However, it doesn’t have to be that way. You can make custom HTTP error pages that will direct users to take particular actions instead of leaving your site. [...]

Here is a comment on blahaj piefed -- i tried posting the other images but got 400 - bad request each time.

Huh.. I can paste images from this account on piefed

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago

But if i try the same image on my main account -- 400.

Pasting text and images from an article also works fine with retrofed piefed
