  • Just like on reddit there was /r/technology and /r/tech… Which do you choose?

    Choose the bigger one of course. That’s all. On Lemmy they can have the same name but the search feature shows how many subscribers there are. It’s pretty clear usually which to pick.

    But everyone can see all of them and it’s not a big deal if you post to a smaller community because a ton of Lemmy users look at the All feed so it will show up anyway.

    The posts and comments can still be seen across the Fediverse. Images and videos are going to depend, your instance may have cached it, or maybe the post was to externally hosted media. In these cases the media will persist. However in the majority of cases the photos and videos were uploaded directly and will be lost.

    For example: [NSFW, obviously] https://thelemmy.club/c/boobs@lemmynsfw.com?dataType=Post&sort=TopAll (your instance may be automatically translating that link)

    It appears that nothing is wrong… Other than there’s no new content.

    Actually the lemmynsfw image servers appear to be up for now. So if anyone wants to archive do it now.






  • I’m a small instance.

    In 3 years my pict-rs S3 bucket has grown to over 1.2TB

    Yeah disable it. I’m not sure why I didn’t before.

    Turning it off completely means that theoretically I could expose a users IP. Say I DM them a unique photo URL. Zero click and I got that. Lemmy’s default UI blocks that but some apps like Voyager don’t. Or you could reply to an old comment which makes it very likely they’ll be the only ones to see it.

    I turned on proxy-ing.
