    I hate to use it, but this is why I still find imgur useful. It works.

    Some stuff on Lemmy just doesn’t have a robust feature set yet. Especially around content moderation.

      Image previews will still be cached, i believe.
      Not sure what quality lemmy would cache them at, i presume its configurable

    What happens when you share a link to an image? Does Lemmy just save the link or does it make a copy of the image?

      The link. It only saves the image if you upload it directly, since converting it to a link, and embedding the link is how Lemmy handles image uploads.

      Don’t worry. There was some little minor thing about a vent but is reported as fixed since it was discovered.

      Well, the first thing a server does with your image is to send it to a lot of other, completely unrelated servers.

        That’s not quite true - images are only shared if you attach the image to federated content, such as a post or comment. Then yes other instances will cache the image.

        If you never do that, and just upload an image accidentally like OP then it will not be federated AFAIK.

    I’ll be honest, didn’t realize this was news to anyone online in general. What is posted online stays online, particularly if you wish it didn’t. Most especially if you make a stink about it.

    I’ve posted a selfie and cat pics.

    I am unimportant and have little to steal. Though if someone starts shooting at me for paraphrasing far left theory, I’ll know I hit a nerve.

      It’s not about if you’re important or not, it’s about if you become important to someone.

      Don’t underestimate your own worth, everyone has something of at least little importance, because even someone “worthless” can be worth a lot to the right people.

      That’s why it’s very important to be careful what you share.

          oh, I got too excited. The instance sidebar says image uploads are available 4 weeks after account creation, though :(

            Let me try sending you something

            Edit: I got error 413 that I don’t have that functionality. Don’t you see it can never be.

      Looks like we forgot to add this option in the frontend.

      I thought they failed to add the checkbox:

      We failed to add a checkbox for this parameter to lemmy-ui.

          Probably language barrier. That figure of speech is not the easiest for Germans to grasp.

          The first thing coming to mind is “we tried to add a checkbox, but failed, it just wouldn’t work”

          To my German mind, failing means “trying and not managing it, giving up in the end.”

          Failing to so somehing by forgetting doesn’t really make sense. :) How can you fail something you’ve never attempted.

          It’s just a figure of speech, I know.

      From what I hear through the grapevine in Europe there are several lawsuits in the pipe.

      This is only for deleting your entire account. Not deleting an individual image from your post history. At least there’s a solution for now.
