That is odd.. Can you upload the image to imgur.com, post it, and then I can try to upload it myself to see what happens?
I can upload my image to imgur, and I can post that, but the pretty image doesn't show, it's just an imgur link. Is it possible to show a thumbnail of the pretty picture? imgur link here https://imgur.com/a/H7KjOJ6
Thank you for your help! :)
I was able to upload it with both an admin and a non-admin account:

One idea: microscopy image files can be very big. Perhaps imgur compressed it considerably, and that's why I was able to upload it after downloading it from there. How big is the original file that you tried uploading?
original image is 3.9Mb, its a tif made from the z stacks of the super huge .lsm files. is 3.9Mb too big for here? Sorry, I'm a new reddit refugee, learning how this lemmy thing works :)
