Hey I’m not really a tech-savvy person yet but I was wondering if it’s better for server load to upload an image to Imgur or another image/video-hosting site first and then place the link in a post instead of directly uploading to Lemmy?
I want to contribute content-wise but I also want servers to stay up and not be overloaded. What would be best you think?
So you’re saying just put it on… Another instance that we need to worry about overloading… Just not a Lemmy instance?
Pixelfed aligns with the fediverse mentality that reduces the risk of losing all the content because one server went down.
I wasn’t addressing compute, but on that topic, the work has to be done somewhere. Why not spread it out?
