What’s changed, at some point prior to now, is that lemmy started propagating images, not just posts. It didn’t used to do that – one of the first conversations I dropped into here was one where Ada, the lemmy.blahaj.zone admin, was talking with someone in the Middle East, in a majority-Muslim country that did not like LGBTQ content. Their country had blacklisted lemmy.blahaj.zone – a trans-oriented server – at a national firewall level. They could view the text content on lemmy.blahaj.zone by using a different home instances federated with lemmy.blahaj.zone and viewing the posts and comments as they propagated, but couldn’t view the images that users there had posted.
Hopefully lets lemmy scale more – you don’t have one user post an image to their home lemmy instance and then have everyone beat that server to death.
Thanks! Sorry for the confusion, but it’s probably good that it works this way now.
No, never mind – it was my error. It is being hosted on lemmy.world’s.
