  • I think this is related to the recent security vulnerability that affected, notably, lemmy.world. Even unaffected instances mostly decided to invalidate existing user sessions just to be sure and this required resetting Jerboa and some other apps that presumably hold onto a cached version of your auth token even if you remove the account and re-add it or something. So it was necessary to clear the app cache and storage to reset it and add accounts again.

    Yeah, it’s only communities that people on your instance search for/subscribe to afaik. So if you’re the only one on your instance then you have control over that.

    Further to that it’s only the post objects (and comments, etc.) that is replicated all pics and videos are just URLs. even when you upload a picture with the post, that’s just uploaded to the instance and the link to it is the link of the post, even on other instances the images are fetched from the original source from the client side. I do believe each instance does local thumbnaling.
