 Getting “error uploading image” when trying to upload a 30s video from Damus. 😭 
 I was having the same problem. Try sending again but compressed to a maximum size of 5mb 
 Idk how to compress it on my phone :( 
 Android or IOS? 
 iOS! 
 I don’t know a native way to do that on IOS, Im using this app “Video compress - Shrink video” 
 Just used a compressor app and it’s down to under 3MB but still won’t post :( @The Fishcake🐶🐾 halp ser 
 Let me check, we should be good up to 10MB 🐶🐾🫡 
 Did not find any issues, what error are you getting? Also, when uploading on iOS Damus, change options as below: 🐶🐾🫡 https://i.nostr.build/mlgjj.jpg https://i.nostr.build/EnGZP.jpg  
 What format of the video are you using? MP4? 🐶🐾🫡 
 Ok, found you in the logs and see that the upload did exceed 10MB limit. It could be that iPhone automatically converts the file into a bigger size one or you are uploading same big file. If you are sure that the size you uploading is correct, you can try using webpage directly 🐶🐾🫡 
 So turns out the “compressor” app I found was somehow doubling the file size 🤦but here’s the originals size. I tried changing the option in Damus but still doesn’t work under 10MB 🤔
Gonna try from webpage now https://image.nostr.build/6120b3d73f1e98b8bff65225ae388d9bb269067317c8744dc7ad384c5933453c.jpg  
 Website says it exceeds the file size of 11 MB.. but it’s 9.1 MB? 😂 iPhone videos ffs. Does it have to be MP4? 
 We measure uploaded bytes, so if it’s over limit it is rejected. 🐶🐾🫡 
 I don’t understand but i suppose I will continue trying to compress it 
 You have three choices: compress to 480p or less, get an app that does it on the phone (paid), get an account (paid) 🐶🐾🫡 
 Success 🤠 and I will be saving up to get an account very soon 
 🐶🐾🎉🎉🎉 
 If you are only bound to iPhone then try https://apps.apple.com/jp/app/video-compress-shrink-vids/id997699744?l=en-US

It is not free for some sizes (not sure what was the limit) but should work on short ones. 🐶🐾🫡
