Just curious. Couldn’t find out on Google.
Since Lemmy instances are self hosted, I imagine that it would be much less than most social media sites.
What about types of files? Could you upload an animated image sequence or video if the file was small enough?
Does this vary between instances?
Could you even upload stuff such as .zip if admins wanted to specifically allow it?
You must log in or register to comment.
Totally depends on the individual server settings.
Any norms/defaults?
Can’t tell you specifics, but etiquette right now is to try and host elsewhere and link instead, on account of the rapid scaling hosts will be going through right now.
I know.
Was just curious.It has been suggested to upload to the appropriate fediverse applications, PeerTube, FunkWhale, CastPod, Pixelfed, then link.
Wonder if people have considered automatically forwarding to them, or using them to archive old media.
You mean, like automatically uploading videos to PeerTube from the Lemmy UI? Yep, that would be nice to have at some point. I’d guess it’s not a priority right now.
