Increase rate limits for image uploading? (midwest.social)

I've created a few new communities to post comics to daily, and I'm starting to hit rate limits pretty consistently now when uploading images. Would it be possible to increase those?

Don't spam images.

Your server has to keep a copy, and every server that's federated has to keep a copy.

Post links to the comics. It's much less server space for a link than an image.

The rate limit is there for a reason, a couple over zealous posters can affect most of the smaller instances and even the larger ones.
