+#### What is the default image upload size limit and how can I change it?
+The default limit is 8 megabytes, however this can be changed by editing the following line in `mastodon/app/models/media_attachment.rb`:
+
+`  validates_attachment_size :file, less_than: 8.megabytes`
+
+Change the 8 to another integer to change the limit.

 #### How do I start my own instance?
