uploading a picture in Lemmy would replicate the picture on every instance.
I thought that was the point? Anyway, I just thought you should know, I have a feeling it isn’t just me who can’t see the catbox posts, so maybe try an alternative for a while, that’s all… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In the past, you would have a copy of pictures posted directly stored by every instance, consuming resources for every of them
I don’t think that’s been the case for quite some time. As a test, what is the link for this image in my comment? It should be blahaj’s pictrs instance:
(it’ll either show as lemmy.blahaj.zone/pictrs or pictrs.blahaj.zone)
No, by using catbox, all instances just refer to catbox, which is the single host of the picture. In the past, you would have a copy of pictures posted directly stored by every instance, consuming resources for every of them

You’re the first one complaining, if there’s someone else I’ll reconsider!

Fair enough… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
