Go to your uploads on your profile and delete anything you don’t want. Very helpful in case you upload anything sentitive by mistake (I remember an issue on github about this).
Hopefully this update rolls out here on .world soon. I don’t have any way to back this claim up, but I’ll bet you a Lincoln penny I’m one of, if not the, most prolific posters of images on here. I’m positive I have several outdated images uploaded that are no longer used in any of my posts because I’ve updated them with something else. It’d be cool to be able to delete those, even if for no other reason than garnering the feel-goods about no longer wasting a bunch of ones and zeroes on the servers for nothing.
Unrelated, but that meme is 100% accurate
Is it true that everything I upload is hosted by the instance I’m on? I ask because that might mean that I should take care of not to upload NSFW even if it’s to an appropriate community on another instance.
Yes.
It’s handled by pict-rs, an image hosting server than runs next to lemmy, which lemmy interacts with. When you upload an image on lemmy it goes to pict-rs, and you get a link to that image which is then used for the post or comment.
You can use any other image host that provides a direct image link, as well.
It also worth noting that most instances will host cached thumbnail copies of the images in all posts, regardless of what instance is the main host, or even if using an external host entirely.
Yes, although you could host it on any service you wish and manually use the link

Oh, I’m using Thunder, I wasn’t aware of this, thank you!
Edit: I saw you deleted your comment, was it wrong?
Not implemented yet. Coming tho.
