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).
Not sure if this is still the case, but I remember reading earlier that processing uploaded images was using some of the most resources on lemmy.ml’s servers at one point. Given the strain and load on the server already, I don’t think it would be a good idea to put even more on it by requiring images be uploaded directly
I’m neutral about only images and no videos part
Out of all image content, memes are hurt the least if they get downscaled to 400x400
