Does anyone know if it's illegal to lie about your holdings as an individual retail investor? I've seen a handful of screenshots on /r/wallstreetbets showing large holdings, but it would be trivial to modify the page source before taking a screenshot.

Not illegal in itself. It's probably possible (though almost impossible just based on a random screenshot) for someone to prove that you committed fraud and it directly caused them harm.
