i think the image size limit has been reduced some time ago, because of this i’ve encountered various situations where i had to manually compress images to be able to upload them. i think the size limit is at around 800kb, at least based on my experience. is there a way that images could be compress upon upload to avoid this? i genuiley rather have them look like a blurry mess than to have to edit them manually.

This community is committed to centering the perspectives and voices of the Global South. As such, all posts and comments must demonstrate respect for this fundamental principle.

This is not a platform for imperialist or colonialist mindsets. Users seeking a forum for such views will find ample accommodation across Silicon Valley platforms and numerous other Fediverse instances. That is not the purpose of this space.

Here, we consciously prioritize the voices of the global majority—those routinely oppressed and silenced elsewhere. Our moderation and enforcement policies exist explicitly to uphold this mission. If you are accustomed to norms prevalent on mainstream Western platforms, please understand that you are now participating in a community where those norms do not apply.

Before posting or commenting, especially if you reside in a first world Western nation, we urge you to:

1. Inform yourself on the issues at hand.
2. Consider how your words might be received by those from the regions you discuss.
3. If unsure, choose to listen rather than speak.

This reminder is prompted by recent global political events. Should you face moderation, the reason will be visible in the modlog. Contact the moderators only if you genuinely believe an error was made. Otherwise, please understand that an action likely felt permissible to you—based on your experience elsewhere on the internet—may contradict the core values of this community.

Lemmygrad is a collection of Marxist communities, for memes, learning, news, discussion, media, or anything you like.

There’s a big chance that your instance blocks Lemmygrad, so the best way to interact with the community is either joining there or creating an account on an instance that doesn’t blocks us. You can check this on the instaces section of your instance. This is what it looks like for Lemmy, but you can basically add /instances to the URL and it will take you there.

Due to the huge influx of users after the Reddit debacle Lemmygrad got a lot of account requests so it takes time for approval, be patient.
