Looking to maybe self host my own instance, I’m still learning about the fediverse. If a different instance that I federate with hosts something illegal are there risks to me? Is anything from other instances hosted on my server like a copy of it? Or would I only end up hosting things my users post? I’m paranoid and sorry if this is a silly question.
Nope… thats what I’m talking about… image posts to remote communities, with the images being sourced from my instance. Like I said, next time I spot it I’ll dig into it further.
What software is your instance running?
You can see in this image that the meme I’m currently looking at is hosted on lemmy.world even though I’m on my own Lemmy instance.
Yep, that is nearly but not always the case.
