Comment on lemm.ee plans for mitigating image upload abuse
Anonymousllama@lemmy.world 1 year agoMight be useful to adjust the field themselves so instead of looking for a local image, they can pull in something from an external URL (hosted on imgur). That way at least avatars / banners will still work without the onus being on the server.
Hopefully they sort out all this stuff eventually

Would be easily doable, I was able to do it on my account here since the user settings config just contains a link to an image which can point at pictrs or at an external image hosted elsewhere so using the API (in my case using a third party app being built by my friend) you can replace avatars with externally hosted images, I made an issue on the lemmy-ui GitHub to hopefully get that feature integrated officially.
