    Bandwidth is the issue, and server space. I wonder, can Lemmy servers be setup where say, someone runs an ass appreciation server. That server, when people post, sends the image to redgifs?

    Then the server space issue is mute and porn, or even erotic art, etc can thrive

      I think this is where tildes.net is being smart with text only, saves massive on server costs and also is safer to run for the owners with less moderation needed due to no chance of any illegal porn being uploaded

      Most subs hosted their content to external sites anyway from what I saw due to how terrible reddit’s video player was.
