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).
Instead of Imgur, a good and private alternative, I think cceptable for Lemmy, is vgy.me, I use it in ShareX as image sharing. I prefer an extern host, I think it’s better for the one which put the Lemmy server to host the images. https://vgy.me
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
Sound good. You remember the time, where “meme” only applied to images? I do. I miss those times ;)
That could just have been an image in the comment.
I’ll count this as your first rule violation.
