Wait are images federated too? Can't u disable it?

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I think only links to the images are federated.

EDIT: I am from the programming.dev instance, and this post links to https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/22411ac1-3f76-4904-9f0e-8522311c4ee1.jpeg which seems to come from lemmy.ca and not lemmy.ml where this community is originally from.

Maybe it was cross posted? Not sure.

The thumbnails are hosted on your home instance.

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And the content itself? And it's hosted on the home instance of the uploader or on every home instance and then served to their own users from that one?

[–] Hubi@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's just hosted on their home instance. If all the content would be synced, it would be impossible to set up smaller and personal instanced without massive storage capacities.

I see, thanks for the explanation.
