When I attempt to upload images to lemmy.world via the desktop web UI, I get the following error message:

SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

Looking at network traffic in dev tools, I see that I’m getting a 403 page from Cloudflare saying:

Sorry, you have been blocked You are unable to access lemmy.world Why have I been blocked? This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks…

I also get error messages when trying to upload images using Connect and Sync on an Android device. I successfully uploaded images in the past.

I’m also experiencing this problem, however I don’t see anything about being blocked by Cloudfare. What I do see in the network tools is that on the image’s POST request, Lemmy is returning a 400 (Bad Request) error. Issue is happening on both the normal Lemmy UI and the Photon UI.

Do you use a VPN? If so, turning it off may solve the issue.

Please let me know!
