So now that Lemmy and the community overall are getting a lot of attention, with /c/memes being one of the biggest communities across instances, I think we should be a bit more strict about certain things.
I'd like your opinion, though. What do you think about a rule about only allowing images, and that such images need to be uploaded to Lemmy instead of linking to something like Imgur. I think that text and videos are a better fit for some other community (at least until we get something where we are able to play videos within Lemmy).
Not sure if this is still the case, but I remember reading earlier that processing uploaded images was using some of the most resources on lemmy.ml's servers at one point. Given the strain and load on the server already, I don't think it would be a good idea to put even more on it by requiring images be uploaded directly
