You haven’t been doing anything wrong from your side - we have just been experiencing some growing pains with a new Lemmy feature (image proxying).
It’s a bit unfortunate that these problems cropped up, but ultimately we will benefit from this new feature, as it will help solve several issues with Lemmy image hosting overall. So I hope you can forgive the issues and trust that the end result is worth it!
Ahh I see the issue & have fixed that example post now.
Basically, I had already fixed the root cause which was breaking the images, but there was a period while I was working on the fix during which some images posted would remain in a broken state. I don’t unfortunately have a fast way of automatically detecting and fixing those broken images unfortunately, but I can fix them one by one manually.
Having said that, any new images posted now are not getting broken. I’ll see what I can do about the broken ones, maybe I can find some way to automate fixing them.
I’ve made a few PRs to hopefully improve the image situation, these are all running on lemm.ee as of now as well, so hopefully it’s better now!

Maybe this community is a good target for that? Let me know your thoughts.
FWIW I know some users often check their local announcement/support communities through other instances during downtime, so it can actually be quite nice to have such communities federated to other instances.
The maximum file size limit for images hosted directly on lemm.ee servers is always visible in the sidebar of our front page. The limit stands at 500kb per image currently.
Additionally, It’s also possible to post images larger than 500kb, they just have to be hosted externally. The markdown for this is 
I’ve made some experimental changes, please let me know if you notice any difference
