That’s actually not how it works. Images are hosted by the instance the community is on. Other instances embed those images as links in the page. The image is downloaded from the original instance by the browser.

Yes, it’s a known issue. The devs are absolutely slammed with optimization issues, and this will probably get addressed at some point.
True, but I agree with lemillionsock’s core point. Nothing short of Reddit pulling the plug on the servers will cause 430 million monthly active users to shift in any short time-frame. However, what is likely to happen is a sharp decline in quality as the core content contributors move on, then a slow gradual decline as the remaining users go “Where’d all the content go?”.
Yup, but this is early days yet. As issues get filed on the github and more contributors step in to accomplish stuff, things will improve.
Go to Communities at the top, change the filter from “Local” to “All” and search for “Gaming”.
If you’re the first one who wants to register to a community from this server (not the case here) it’s slightly more complex.
I actually stumbled across a much better link while helping someone else. This’ll be more useful for you
All the UI is doing is automatically making it a markdown link. You can do it yourself just by doing [!test_community@sopuli.xyz](https://sopuli.xyz/c/test_community)
I think this might be what you’re looking for.
I’m a massive fan of Paradox Interactive, and play almost all their stuff. Crusader Kings 3, Victoria 3, Hearts of Iron 4 and Stellaris (in that order).
That bar is going to be way more vertical tomorrow. The community finder is reporting 2 communities breaking 7k+ users.
I upvoted and chuckled, but please use Imgur or similar links while the entire ecosystem is being hit by the Reddit hug of death :)
Yup. The entire ecosystem is experiencing the Reddit hug of death. Server maintainers are trying to upgrade their hardware as fast as possible and the devs are trying to optimize the code as fast as humanly possible.
I joined the same day as the APIocalypse happened, and this is a wild ride to watch.
Completely agree. I’ll be ecstatic if Lemmy hits the point where it’s self-sustaining. It doesn’t need to attract millions, but it needs enough active engaged users to post and comment so that there’s enough interesting shit here
Wait, this community is for tabletop RPGs as well? Interesting. Was considering writing up a Shadowrun AAR post on !RPG@lemmy.ml (did I do that link right?), might post it here too if people are interested.
Having understood the fediverse on a theoretical level but not ever actually stepping into it, it’s really amazing to see the interconnectedness of it in real time :)
1 guy made a community. He put some shitty posts there that were massively downvoted. He was banned and his community deleted. It’s hardly “The_Donald” joining.
