So now that Lemmy and the community overall are getting a lot of attention, with /c/memes being one of the biggest communities across instances, I think we should be a bit more strict about certain things.
I’d like your opinion, though. What do you think about a rule about only allowing images, and that such images need to be uploaded to Lemmy instead of linking to something like Imgur. I think that text and videos are a better fit for some other community (at least until we get something where we are able to play videos within Lemmy).
The posts are cached, like the text and comments. The images aren’t AFAIK. The links to the images are also cached, and BeeHaw can’t tell what instance is accessing them, it just sees a request from each user’s computer for the image.
