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).
My thoughts:
Yeah this will make the community better because images from here look better in jerboa at least.
It will mean OClinked from here will lead people to hear and not a third part app.
It will burden the instance with extra traffic and storage. Maybe IPFS support on the back end and front end ipfs opt in for users could help that?
