Adding a wallpaper (I think?) to an already created community? (lemmy.ml)

I just created a community but left it without a wallpaper (or whatever it's called here). A little later I found out what the wallpaper should be and now I wanna add one but I can't see any buttons about editing the community. So: how can I add a wallpaper image to an already existing community?

Check the sidebar. There will be a pencil edit icon Look for the Banner.

Found it. But it won't accept the image which is weird. Asklemmy has a cover image (or wallpaper) which is 1536x768 - the same dimensions I'm trying to upload and the site still rejects it because "it's too large".

Could be filesize. Instances can have different upload limits.

Yep, that was it. Apparently 1.1 MB PNG was too big. Thanks!
