First post from my new, self-hosted, personal instance. Feels good!

    It only pulls from communities you have subscribed to. Images aren’t duplicated per server, just text; so even if you find something nasty it’s not hosted by you and you can always delete comments from the database/block users from appearing in your instance.

      Tangential - is there any reason a private instance couldn’t just not run a pictrs container? Especially if you’re not creating communities on your instance.

        Yeah, but you’d lose out on being able to have a profile banner/photo.

        I am certainly getting by without pictrs, but I would like to eventually dress up my instance a little bit and make it a little easier to post images.
