I can’t upload any kind of image to Lemmy. Regardless of device I use, iPhone/Voyager or Mac/Firefox, I get this HTTP 403 error. The issue persists regardless of which wireless network I am connected to.

This is obviously a false positive. Is there someone I can talk to about unblocking me?

    For Imgur on mobile you can actually get the full quality image url by doing as you said, with one extra step:

    • request desktop site
    • tap image (opens full quality image)
    • long press image -> Copy Link

    This will provide a direct link to the full quality jpg/png rather than the low quality webp

      That’s unnecessary. When viewing the page with ‘desktop site’ enabled, it already loads the full quality jpg/png. Tapping/clicking on it just expands that file to fill the screen, it doesn’t load a new file.

      Webp is only used on the mobile site.

      (at least that’s the results I get re-testing just now via chrome and forefox android)
