  • Please use a proper image host. When your uploads get federated, if they are uploaded directly to lemmy, the images get federated as well. While you may have a large server, a lot of people don’t.

    It even says on the lemmy docs to use a third party image service that’s built to host images:

    Note that this functionality is not meant to share large images or videos, because that would require too many server resources. Instead, upload them on another platform like PeerTube or Pixelfed, and share the link on Lemmy.

    Someone made a post the other day (since deleted) asking why their instance was slow after they uploaded NINETY high res images in one post. Please don’t be that person.

    I’ve been looking for a way to cache images elsewhere instead of on my server as they are federated here, as my instance is tiny. I’m hoping I can find a way that’s not a bucket someplace as I don’t trust myself to not mess one of those up and end up with a massive bill.
