  • Currently: Not for a user.
    The only way to block at instance level is defederation which is usually a bit extreme.

    This shouldn’t be too complicated to handle at the user level, but someone would have to spend time to develop it and contribute to lemmy source code.

    Likewise, there are specific instances for which I’d want to auto-sub to all current and future communities, which is also not a fair that exists (other than creating your account there and browsing “Local”)

    IMHO, Blocking at the user level is a feature that’s relatively likely to happen eventually.



  • I think the idea behind a low limit is to push people into linking to image hosting sites instead of hosting a ton of media on here.
    I too would prefer images to be hosted locally, but I get that storage and associated costs can snowball pretty quick with something this big.
    The 100kB limit should be OK for avatars and banners, which can’t be hosted elsewhere.
    Hopefully, it can be bumped a bit higher in the future.
