How did you install lemmy?

Post your docker-compose.yml and lemmy.hjson config.

Its almost certainly the pictrs config block, it changed in the main branch and is broken for current releases.

Use the example for the pictrs block here: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/configuration.html

We've installed it with docker, here are my files

`Config file:

for more info about the config, check out the documentation

Yep, your pictrs block is wrong. Check my instructions above.
