One community I mod is primarily for sharing images. I initially required uploading to services like Imgur or PostImages and post the link to Lemmy, to decrease hosting demand, but it’s much easier to simply upload it to Lemmy. Does it make sense to re-require uploading elsewhere? I don’t want to contribute to hosting overload, but I’d like an easy user experience.
@ruud@lemmy.world, if you can weigh in, I would appreciate it too.

Can you compromise and have a file size limit, or could the server transcode the file to a reduced definition?
Perhaps later, premium accounts could be given a bigger storage option to compensate.
