I tried several things:
- Hosted all the images on my Pixelfed rather than directly on lemmy.sdf.org: no joy
- Replaced “El-cheapo” by “Cheap” in the title, in case lemmy.ml has some overly-busy PC filter and “el-cheapo” is now considered offensive or something: no joy
- Finally, I removed 2 photos to keep the total images in the post to 10: it went right through
So it’s the number of images. Apparently more than 10 is not okay with all instances. So good to know if you ever want to make a photo-heavy post too.
I’ve cross-posted this successfully to lemmy.world too. First time in a long time. And the only real difference with all my previous failed posts that only had one or two images is that the images aren’t hosted by lemmy.sdf.org.
So it would also appear that lemmy.world doesn’t like posts with photos inlined directly on the SDF instance.

Thanks for sharing your findings. Did you try these things more than once, on different days, to make sure the triggers you think you found weren’t merely coincidences?

Yeah I did many posts over months on the lemmy.world 3D-printing community. In the best cases, the post went through 2 or 3 hours late. Sometimes up to 2 days late. Usually it never goes through though.
I usually post things with pictures I took, so I always have at least a thumbnail picture that I uploaded direct on lemmy.sdf.org.
This last post I did had a thumbnail hosted on SDF’s Pixelfed and it went right up.
As for lemmy.ml, I never have problems with it. It’s just this one time because I hit their images limit - that I wasn’t aware of and is documented nowhere as far as I know.
