Wondering about whether I should find somewhere else to host my images before I post them, especially since I post to/mod !bunnies@lemmy.world, on the biggest instance. I do crop them down to just the relevant bit and compress them before posting.

Also wondering whether to move off lemmy.world or if it'll die of low activity: most of our posts are from the same few people (thankfully I am not the only poster!), and !bun_alert_system@lemmy.sdf.org fulfills the same niche. I want to preserve the fact that there are two active bunny communities. I love the Bun Alert System, if you check our sidebars we both reference each other, but I also like the idea that if one of our instances dies, if the other community goes inactive, there is still a second bunny place to go to. So I do not want !bunnies@lemmy.world to just die and have its users absorbed by the Bun Alert System.

I do like the idea of the old mod I replaced because they went MIA being able to come back, find this, and post/mod again, which is a small point towards not leaving lemmy.world, but ever since I got my feet wet at kbin.social and learned what was going on I've decided that I'd rather support smaller instances. I am only on lemmy.world because turns out you cannot see reports if you mod from an account from a different instance (at least, that is how it was when I first took over. You can literally see me trying to mod with accounts from smaller instances, finding it didn't work, and stopping via the modlogs of some Elevator7009 being added, and leaving haha).

Nice community! I have never heard about world being not ok with hosting the images, it's very convenient i think. I also made some donations so i don't feel bad at all about hosting my images here. I like lemmy.world, but i guess i'm in the minority here, it often seems more like a "get off .world and .ml" community than about growth of the lemmyverse.

To me it's topic and community first, instance i don't care much, it's federated anyway.

Thank you!

It is convenient, but I do want to help take the load off. It is the biggest Lemmy instance and I want to grow smaller instances. I mostly feel bad about being on .world because it's the biggest instance and I want to make the Fediverse diverse instead of all centralized on one giant.

Worth noting I don't personally notice anything bad with .world or .ml, but I know part of me being able to say that is because I keep off Local/All on any general-purpose instance and stick to my subs.
