One community I mod is primarily for sharing images. I initially required uploading to services like Imgur or PostImages and post the link to Lemmy, to decrease hosting demand, but it’s much easier to simply upload it to Lemmy. Does it make sense to re-require uploading elsewhere? I don’t want to contribute to hosting overload, but I’d like an easy user experience.
@ruud@lemmy.world, if you can weigh in, I would appreciate it too.
I think a file size limit would be fair, if space becomes an issue. I don’t think lemmy users would want to have limited resolution, so I would probably just opt for using Imgur or something. I would probably leave an instance of a lemmy if it started including premium accounts. I think the community-funded approach of lemmy would not necessarily align with a premium/basic model.
