I'm sure I could just go onto the Discord and say this, but I'll put it here. I just noticed there's an upload limit on file sizes; if possible, could you please post what that max size is for uploading images/gifs on the post creation screen? :) Right now it just looks like it uploads, displays an error briefly but it disappears too fast to read what the error is. I'm assuming its due to file size, as the error in the developer console is a 413. Thanks!

Great question @lydialovely I'm going to tag @discostick as he is an expert in this area. Hopefully, once we get our own "tube" site up we can handle the bigger videos you are wanting to do. Good question and Disco will be able to answer I'm sure.
Check out this response by discostick here. Not sure if this helps.
The maximum file size is 10mb.
Photos are simple to resize.
For GIFs...
The easy way to make sure your file is under 10mb is to use the Img Play app and when you save it... save it as 10mb.
As you can see me doing in the GIF below. Just select "gif size" instead of "save to photos".
When uploading to your blog, this is what I do.
For some reason uploading the GIF on DPorn/Steemit desktop/computer the GIF will not play. So I upload to the desktop version of Esteem, then I copy and paste the url into my DPorn blog. As you can see me doing in the GIF below.
Mobile DPorn works
You can upload your GIF straight to DPorn/Steemit on your mobile device. That works without any issue for me. Still needs to be under 10mb.
I hope this helps you.
Awesome! 10mb, alright. I knew how to make them smaller I just didnt know what the limit was :) Thanks guys!
