I guess my first question is "is this the right community for Lemmy instance support?"

Assuming the answer to the above is "yes", is there a problem with image uploads today? I've tried several times to update my community's icon, background and upload an image post and it always returns JSON errors through Chrome, Firefox and Jerboa.

Also are there size limits (in pixels or kilobytes) for image uploads?

Here's a fun drinking game: take a shot every time image uploads break.

You're best bet is to use an external host (catbox, imgbb, etc) for images in posts, and to leave icons / bgs empty. For whatever reason, uploading images on Lemmy can be pretty buggy and this is the best solution.
