OK, more a Lemmy question/complaint than a shaving one. I'm trying to make a post but all it's doing is spinning. Tried three times now and just spin. Any suggestions?

That’s odd—trying to make a post or trying to post a comment on a particular subLemmy? Let me know which one and which subLemmy and I’ll take a look.
I'm trying to post the Great Spice Off to the WetShaving subLemmy (I think I worded that right). I upload an image, plenty of text in markdown, title, and then click publish but it just spins and spins and spins. Maybe try without the image upload?
Is it an unusually lengthy post?
Yea, it's one of my Great Spice of reviews so definitely longer than it should be. :D
😄 I only ask in case that's part of what's causing the issue. Maybe there's a character limit beyond which you can still attempt to post but it errors out.
I’d try it again without the image and see if it works. If not, let me know what time (down to the minute, if possible) you tried it and your time zone and I’ll check the logs.
Just tried right now at 9:28 a.m. with no image. Still spinning.
Thanks for letting me know. I’ll take a look this afternoon and let you know what I find!
So I took a look and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Can you send me in a private message the markdown you were going to post? I'd like to try it in my test subLemmy and watch the log just as I'm doing it. Thanks!
