[Meta] What do you think? (lemmy.ml)

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).

Unless you're hosting the storage, it would be wise to contact whoever does host your instance and make sure they don't have a problem with mandating direct uploads.

But, on this end, it isn't necessary. It's easy enough to click through if it doesn't show directly.

note that when a user pastes an image on lemmy, it gets hosted on the user's home instance - not to the home instance of the community where they pasted it.
