I was about to create the daily thread using the mod account, but it seems LW is having issues again.
Do you think we should move this space to another instance such as https://discuss.online/?
99.976% uptime based on their status page: https://status.discuss.online/
The instance I’m on was down for scheduled maintenance earlier today. If you’re on lemmy.world, and that phrase is unfamiliar, ‘scheduled maintenance’ is when your server isn’t available, but you were given plenty of notice beforehand and it comes back better.
The admin mentioned that he’s moved about 100GB of images over to a new service.
I thought I understood how images were federated. I thought that it was just text that was shared between instances (including a link to wherever an image was uploaded first), but it seems like many images are copied all over.
To use one 3.54MB example, uploaded by a sopuli.xyz member for a post to !gameart@sopuli.xyz:
original image
my instance
feddit.nl
lemmy.world
communick.news
Anyway, as to the main question, I believe that everything should be moved from lemmy.world in its current state, so ‘yes’.
Thanks for your feedback.
Indeed, I notes that pictures are copied, which seems weird
