Stop Lemmy from mirroring link images
By default Lemmy seems to be mirroring every link's preview image. Even when that link was originally posted on an external Lemmy instance. That can put quite a strain on small servers. Is there a way to disable this? Ideally I would have pict-rs just be used to host the images my users upload and nothing else.
Solved:
Add
undefined
pictrs: {
image_mode: "None"
}
to lemmy.hjson.
You're viewing a single thread.
See the config.hjson for image_mode

Great! Thanks!
Now I just have to somehow prune the old images...
I think there's a guide for that somewhere? Maybe I can try looking for it tomorrow if no one else finds it first. I think the admin control panel that shows uploaded images might also show the federated ones?
Maybe pictrs does it by itself. It's still working like crazy after I did the change without any user-uploads happening.

I guess you could call GET /internal/hashes?{query} to see all the images
is the default thumbnails?
the default appears to be StoreLinkPreviews in v0.19.8

but in the main branch it's ProxyAllImages, so I guess that'll be for a future release
