I thought lemmy would only cache text from remote instances to avoid replicating images across the lemmyverse. But I'm seeing a lot of images stored in volumes/pictrs/files/ so maybe that's not the case? Anyone have any insight into this?
I'm trying to view Lemmy from the browser but have already seen most of the posts at the top, so to get new stuff I'm trying to look at all communities sorted by new.

The lemmy ui is removing websockets in the next update replacing it with a REST API. I suspect that will stop any new posts from popping to the top after load.
People seem to not want new posts and comments moving things around on their page anyway.
A lemmy instance will only show communities that someone’s has previously searched using the full url. You can find a list of all available instances here: http://browse.feddit.de/
One of the downsides seems like since the developer packages everything together, I’m reliant on them to push out changes. For example if some dependency needs a critical security update then I’m relying on every flatpak author to apply that change and push out a new version. But if I’m installing packages directly, I can update that one package and be done with it across my system.
If nobody from your instance is already subscribed, then you can only search for the community by the full url. I wrote a bit more about this here: https://lemmy.directory/post/34207
Thanks for the feedback! I think if your main goal is to just search for communities by name, then it’s best to use: https://browse.feddit.de/.
I find lemmy.directory the most helpful in browsing all posts across the lemmyverse in a single feed (via the “All” filter).
Searching for new communities may be able to be made more universal, but automatically pulling in those feeds (subscribing) is probably not a good general idea. See here for more info on that: https://lemmy.ml/comment/476925
I think that would be possible to do to help with searching for new communities. Although for now I’m not sure there’s too much difference between it existing on each instance vs on https://browse.feddit.de/. Other than ease of use of staying on one website I guess.
Right now, NSFW-marked communities are by default(?) not shown by their home instance to non-logged-in users in the community list, and even if you go to them manually no posts are shown....
When first subscribing to a new instance, a handful of posts get backfill synced. I think it would make sense to also backfill the comments for those posts.

Does lemmy store remote instance's images?

Move lemmy directory on server?
Is it safe to move the /svr/lemmy/ directory to a new location on the same server? Or is the directory hard coded into different places? Thanks
