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?

      I’m on Lemmy 0.18.0 right now. I host a number of other kinds of software too, I’ve been all-in on the fediverse for a few years.

      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.
