Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.
For discussion about the lemmy.ml instance, go to !meta@lemmy.ml.
Each instance is pretty customizable. Admins can disable things like image uploads and with so many people joining I could see why. Hosting all that could easily get expensive!
Ah yeh, you're probably right. Especially if people started uploading videos!
In the age of endless uploads everywhere, we all forgot that hosting large files for many people is not always easy!
I think of those early 00 stories in the time before we called content creators, content creators. Too many people visiting their self hosted videos was a bad thing that would end up costing more money than they made!
Will lead to some instances becoming larger parts of the ecosystem than others, but as this scales we should see a better choice of instances so will level out in time. Is lemmy.ml the largest instance currently?
I believe it is!
There are a few places with more complete information of every instance. I have this one on hand:

That's very cool, thank you for the link! (I'm not who you responded to)
No worries! Finding information about communities and whatnot can be a process of just stumbling upon the right comment
