Thinking of moving to sh.itjust.works from lemmy.world - one question about the rules though... - Lemmy.world

If I post nsfw onto a community hosted on lemmynsfw, for example, from the sh.itjust.works account, would that breaking the no pron rule, or not necessarily, since it’s posted on a different instance?

No, it doesn’t break the rule IMO. Yes, the image is hosted on sh.itjust.works, but it’s not posted ik any community on sh.itjust.works, so… it should be OK.

Of you post to an outside community, is not hosted on your insurance. It’s hosted where it’s posted.

I don’t think that is actually true…

OK let’s make a test. I have 2 accounts on sh.itjust.works, this is my lemmy.fmhy.ml account. I’ll attach a pic, see where the link points to.

The link says lemmy.fmhy.ml 🤷.

The potential liability for instance owners due to this is massive. Images should be stored in the instances of the community they’re posted to.

Yeah, you’re right… but I think the problem is, the login info… but, than again, how could it store copies of my post, but not images.

In any case, I do agree that this is something that should be looked into and discussed.

I don’t see why the login info is an issue, and storing a copy of a post wirh just a link to an image makes sense.

I really have no idea how other instances actually confirm that you’re posting from another instance, not just emulating that you’re a poster on another instance. That might be a part of ActivityPub, but I haven’t looked at code, wouldn’t know.

This is part of the ActivityPub protocol, but I haven’t looked into it enough to know how it’s defined.
