    I am running into a 2 MB file size upload limit issue. This is occurring despite Mastodon being configured to allow much larger files. When editing my Admin profile and attempting to upload a header and avatar that is larger than 2 MB, an error message is displayed stating that uploads are set at a maximum of 2 MB. I've been looking everywhere for an answer to this but I can't find a solution. Does anyone know where this limit is located?

      After tinkering for a while and more reading, it looks like the 2 MB file size upload limitation is with headers and avatars and that increasing the upload sizes within the media_attachment.rb config file doesn't affect headers and avatars. This is unfortunate but doable.
