Probably both this and cloudflare caching. Looks like I set CF to cache for 1 year at some point, I can lower it… but that won’t “fix” this, only limit the time its an issue for.

It was removed deliberately during the reddit exodus in order to direct new Lemmy users elsewhere. Rather than to overload lemmy.ml further.

Good bot.

By the way, upgradding to lemmy version 0.18.1 is well worth it. Some massive under the hood performance improvements 🙂

Ok yeah, I guess for external links direct to images it makes sense for the image to be retrieved by each instance. Still, its not intuitive behaviour and it doesn’t seem to be widely understood at all.

Thanks for reporting back.

I wish I knew… I’ve seen the behavior you’ve described, but others tell me it doesn’t happen.

I wanted an instance specifically for Australians… so I made one 😀

I’m using S3FS to achieve the same thing, but without modifying the ansible config or using native object storage within pict-rs.

I like their sense of humour. The definitely don’t take themselves too seriously.
