It was removed deliberately during the reddit exodus in order to direct new Lemmy users elsewhere. Rather than to overload lemmy.ml further.

The kiwi’s have spun something up over here

Good bot.

Definitely, I understand some people would not want this.

The largest table holds data that is only needed by Lemmy briefly. There is a scheduled job to clear it… Every 6 months. There are active discussions on how best to handle this.

On my instance I’ve set a cronjob to delete everything but the most recent 100k rows of that table every hour.

Ok yeah, I guess for external links direct to images it makes sense for the image to be retrieved by each instance. Still, its not intuitive behaviour and it doesn’t seem to be widely understood at all.

Thanks for reporting back.

Yeah, I’ve gone over 24 hours now without it occurring… but not calling it “fixed” until at least a week.

I’ve been seeing similar since upgrading to 0.18. Upgraded to 0.18.1-rc.9 yesterday… haven’t seen it reoccur again… yet.

Here is an example I happened to be at my PC for:

I wish I knew… I’ve seen the behavior you’ve described, but others tell me it doesn’t happen.

Streaming providers are known to have different bitrates in different regions.

I wanted an instance specifically for Australians… so I made one 😀

Your instance must be very new, very few users, very inactive… or all of the above. I stood up aussie.zone just under a month ago, Postgres DB is currently 9.6GB.

Yep, that is nearly but not always the case.

Nope… thats what I’m talking about… image posts to remote communities, with the images being sourced from my instance. Like I said, next time I spot it I’ll dig into it further.

What software is your instance running?

Yeah profile pics are fine. I’m specifically talking about image posts. Next time I spot one I’ll see if the post came from a user on my instance. If not, I have no idea why the post image would be on my instance.

Yeah post content I understand. Linked or posted images though are not consistently handled, so I’m not sure what circumstances lead to my instance pulling the image from a remote community.

That may explain it… point being, content for remote communities isn’t entirely “remote”. I’d like to understand what goes where a lot better. I’ve not found it explained anywhere, and I’m not a coder so can’t just “read the code yourself”.

That isn’t entirely true. I’m not exactly sure why, but I’ve definitely seen image posts made to remote communities that are hosted on my instance.
