In order to keep image storage size down, we convert all uploaded images to avif format. Keeps the image size down but decompresses in high quality

Hi, there’s currently an issue in the lemmy ui where it doesn’t handle avif format images very well and makes you open it in a new link instead of enlarging it. Its fixed in the next version of lemmy, whenever the devs decide to release it (likely 1.0)

Ive been waiting on last man sitting for absolutely ages but it appears to have changed quite a bit from the original idea. Gonna download it and see if its been worth the wait!

No worries - let me know if you come across any other broken ones. I can’t always fix them but happy to take a look.

Sure, lemmy.ml and lemmy.zip both use an image proxy, so we take a copy of the image from the remote server and give that to you instead of a direct link to the remote server (better for user privacy by stopping things like tracking pixels, ip leaks etc).
In this case, it was an image from imgur that lemmy.ml was already proxying via the lemmy.ml server, which we were then trying to proxy from lemmy.ml. I’m not entirely sure what the issue is with lemmy.ml, but we’d appeared to have a rate limit and we couldn’t get a copy of that image from lemmy.ml. Instead, we now bypass the proxy from lemmy.ml and just serve their image from their proxy instead, as it’s already doing the exact same thing ours is. The trade off is that you have to visit lemmy.ml to get that image (same as you would for most other linked images on the web) but at least the image works.

Does this work for you now?

ok thats good, an old version of android is the main culprit usually. can you link me to a post where you’re seeing image failures and i can look into it further?

Are you using an android device?
- Comment on A new homelessness law in Wales is being called 'world-leading' 2 weeks ago:
Some good ideas in this bill, care leavers given some priority for example, but as always with Welsh Gov - where’s the money? This will just cause even higher council tax rises. And with what properties do they expect LAs to provide to people? It’ll just see an increase in HMOs and crime rates as the private market will see an opportunity to force as many people into one building as possible (moreso than already)

Thanks, appreciate it!

The actual lemmy database sits around 110GB at the moment. And that’s with almost 3 years of posts/comments from all over the fediverse, so I think that’s a reasonable storage amount.
I don’t know of a way of seperating out local vs federated in terms of content to be able to check it’s size, it’s all held in the same table(s) with a local flag if local. There is probably a way, I’d need someone smarter than me to work it out though.
Our biggest risk to storage at one point was prometheus and keeping hold of massive amounts of log files so that we could work out when and where we were being attacked from. By implementing a full challenge in cloudflare, we’ve been able to stop that which is why that graph comes down a bit.
The biggest storage issue is images, which is 2.1TB at the moment. There is a way to clear this up a bit with some software, but it’s apparently got risk, so low down the priority list at the moment as object storage is cheap and doesn’t affect the server directly.

Glad you enjoyed it, took me far too long to write it and chuckled to myself the whole time 😅

I just get weird looks when trying to explain it to people, but it’s so awesome. Such a cool idea.

Had a nosey further into this, I was assuming its backed by epic or something like that although nothing obvious jumps out.
There’s a list of FAQs on the website too, most of which are demonstrably false, which makes me very curious as to why this random person feels they speak for me, which they don’t, and what backing they have here. All very strange.

It’s been enabled quite a while, has anything changed your end recently? Are you potentially blocking cookies?
Once you’ve passed the challenge, you shouldn’t see it for another month.

Like mastodon in SSH (and yes, no blocking the line!)

Incredibly niche! :)
Probably why i like it so much.

Not seen one more detailed than this, although worth checking against fedidb.com - also, missing my new favourite from the list, stegodon (stegodon.social, stegodon.zip)

Hey welcome along :)
I would absolutely say to keep an eye on !newcommunities@lemmy.world to see what people are creating. !communitypromo@lemmy.ca is also a good one.
I’m sure people will chime in with their favourite communities from across lemmy, and i always think looking at the all feed and what’s been popular (and scaled too for the smaller communities) gives a good turnover of posts.

Unfortunately not directly no, you’d need to make a new account and you’d lose your post history etc. You can possibly import account settings, subscriptions etc. But either way you’d need to make a new account 😊

FYI @merdaverse looks like devs have fixed this in the next UI update: github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/3737

Thank you so much ❤️

Thanks for that heads up, I’ll have a think. We can swap back to webp if we need to, although I’ll check the lemmy github first as this might already be reported/fixed in a further update.
