I'm aware that some of you have been getting some errors loading this instance. This was a configuration that I needed to be adjusted which has since been.

Do be patient if we run into other issues, I'll be continuously working in the back-end with others to better your overall experience.

Still a lot of capacity available!

edit: For those that are interested in the configuring changes. I was using the default lemmy configuration for the nginx worker_connections value. This value needed to be raised. Shout out to @[email protected] over at lemmy.world for helping me out.

We can, but then you might loose history. This is long known problem on forums. Trying to cut on disk space by linking to image hosts. Sometimes the images survive, most of the time they don't. If that doesn't bother most of the user base, fine, but certain communities would like to keep a history of the media, since sometimes they share valuabe information, like maybe schematics or art.

I guess it's a balance. I remember the imageshack purge but I also don't want to overload the instance.

Photobucket was next after that, not to mention countless others. Imgur has been pretty consistent over the years, but after 2 purges and hundreds of lost images (schematics in most cases) on my forum, I'm scared to death of trusting another image hosting company.

Basically, we still allow externally hosted images on the forum, but only for temp things, like buy/sell, stuff like that. Everything else is attached on the forum.

Imgur is deleting all images that were uploaded without being signed into an account.
