Consider editing a few of your top posts to an archived version.
If you used https://postimages.org/ or any other third party hoster, you should be fine
I think this should be added to the pinned post. The current wording is a bit misleading:
Because of how Lemmy is built, everything posted on lemm.ee will still be accessible from other instances, even after we go offline.
I forgot doing this before feddit.de wasn’t reachable anymore which results in most image posts as @d_k_bo@feddit.de being broken whithout any possibility to change their URL.
What do you mean? Don’t instances keep a local copy of images from other instances?
Not most, they do keep tiny thumbnails though.
Servers can:
- Proxy images
- Save them locally
- just link to them.
Most do the latter as its cheaper.
Interesting, thanks! I did not realize that.
What do you mean to edit your top posts to an archived version?
I sorted by top of all time on my profile, uploaded the images to another site, and hotlinked them in the post.
For any people in the future.
