New because I have my own instance and it’s empty as hell
Does that mean you’re not impacted by any defederations and can subscribe to whatever you want?
Yup
Niiice. The entire Fediverse – especially my home instance – has been hitting that defederate button waaay too often lately.
Does this also mean you end up with copies of abusive media on your server?
Presumably it would only be an issue if one of the users in the server accessed it, and there are no other users
Thing is the way it works is, it only federated content from communities an account is subscribed to on that instance. Since there’s only my account, my all is like my subscribed. So it’s pretty empty.
It depends. Lemmy gives you pretty fine control if you put in the effort.
My home instance lemm.ee for example does not cache images from other instances, so any abusive material posted stays there even if viewed by a member of our instance.
