I just posted my first band interview with a bunch of pics.

I’m pretty sure my graphics, while definitely not hi-rez, are too big. I’m choking the system when I upload them, and they don’t render during page view very well either.

I’m just taking pics with my crappy cell phone.
I upload them by opening the pic in MS Paint, select all, copy, and then paste it directly into the post.

Just given the results I’ve had so far, and my intent to post a LOT more pics, perhaps I should tune this process up.

How would you do it?

What’s the detail with YouTube videos on this instance?
If I’m on this instance, videos in a post don’t render. Instead I see a big black window with this error text.

Watch video on YouTube
Error 153
Video player configuration error

You can just right click the link and go to youtube to see it, its not a complete disaster.
I do sort of need to figure this out tho. I’m doing my best to mod a music comm, so the videos are pretty important.

I’ve tried testing from other instances … and there’s no problem. I have accounts on eviltoast.org (regular lemmy) and moist.catsweat.com (mbin). No problem viewing those same posts from either of those instances. I didn’t even notice the issue until I started using my sh.itjust.works account regularly.

It doesn’t seem to matter who made the post or how old it is. When I’m logged into my sh.itjust.works account, all of the youtube posts show the black window.

I normally use firefox+adblockers, but I have sh.itjust.works whitelisted in ublock. I’ve also tested in my completely clean Vivaldi.

I’ve tested from various machines. I consistently see the empty black window only when I’m viewing these posts through the sh.itjust.works instance.

I’m a newbie mod, but this is not even a mod thing. I’m just reading a post here. Basic internet stuff. Got any help for me?
