Is there a possibility to turn off image uploads on one's instance but still show images from other instances? (lemmy.world)

I know the issue has been answered before, but does anyone know if there exists some kind of work-around until the actual disable-image-upload is implemented in Lemmy?

Can you set a really small min file size for uploads?

You can set the allowed file size to be really low, but users will still be able to upload, or at least attempt it.

Interesting idea, thanks

Where can I find that option? Is it during instance-setup?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I am sorry, but if you are running the instance, unless you are running a large instance, can't you just not upload images yourself, and tell those that does have an account to not do it?

IIRC images also get federated over to your instance.

Ah, after rereading the post, that is probably what OP are looking for
