Why does Lemmy have such a small image size limit? (lemmy.ml)

Basically title. I can't send anything without compressing it a lot (to like 256 colors).

It doesn't.

The limit is set by the people hosting your specific instance, as they're the ones who then have to host that image.

Different instances have different limits.

You can use other image hosts, tho, as long as they give you a direct image link. Just plop it into the url field/use it in a markdown image, instead of uploading to lemmy.
