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).
I don’t know if I like the idea of forcing the image to be hosted on lemmy.ml. I think its good to spread out the data in the event 1 goes down? You may end up with a graveyard of broken links
Well, if the instance goes down you won’t be able to access the community anyway. I wouldn’t have any issue with posting somewhere else, but Imgur doesn’t show a preview which makes it really shitty for posting here. I’d be fine with posting on other instance and adding that link, too.
