Just a note: When lemm.ee shuts down, all the images will break.

  If you used postimages.org or any other third party hoster, you should be fine

    Do you know how it is with the thumbnails for third party hosters? Do they generate as lemm.ee thumbnails?

      Not sure to be honest.

  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      What do you mean to edit your top posts to an archived version?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 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 my image posts as @d_k_bo@feddit.de being broken whithout any possibility to change their URL.
