Yeah, that sounds like it must sync all subscribed comms to your instance, media and all

I guess lemmy doesnt know iti s a one-man instance. and it allows for a consistent source for media (ie your home-lemmy).

I have always thought that it should be a time/size limited local cache, like you are happy to assign 50Gb to local cache of all assets from other instances, and it would keep it to size on a first in first out type of setting. Or, keep remote assets for up to 6 months.

When the cached asset expires, lemmy will then point to the original source.

but, i am not a dev.

I thought that media wasn’t sync’d, but i have seen reports that is is moved across. This sounds a lot like it is moved to your instance.

Pepsi?

Extra credit!

That seems like a missed opportunity

The subscriber count you see is how many on your instance have subscribed.

There are typically more, which is demonstrated by the screenshot you put up.

hahaha, it worked so much better that i had to scroll down for the last picture. brilliant!

yeah, so that is a good example of how AI should be used!
