[Meta] What do you think? (lemmy.ml)

So now that Lemmy and the community overall are getting a lot of attention, with /c/memes being one of the biggest communities across instances, I think we should be a bit more strict about certain things.

I'd like your opinion, though. What do you think about a rule about only allowing images, and that such images need to be uploaded to Lemmy instead of linking to something like Imgur. I think that text and videos are a better fit for some other community (at least until we get something where we are able to play videos within Lemmy).

Not a good idea, sites like Imgur allows lemmy to not store the data, which takes up a huge amount of space, accross all instances. It's better to have image on the instance, yes, but after a bit of work, the lemmy's devs can show external images inline, just like on reddit.

Imgur sucks but I do agree that the images should probably be uploaded to a different site
