I've seen the occasional blip here, but this is the first time I've seen a complete outage of this instance. Hoping @Salamander wanders through and gives us the scoop?

      Oh I managed just fine. But I guess I was forced to (on my .ee account, that is).

      Edit: but since the main issue is (understandably) media from other instances, I'm sure removing that would be adequate.

        It'll be harder for most people who don't know how to set profile picture using the API or network requests field, since the way the Lemmy Frontend is done it requires Uploads in the Frontend, but doesn't actually require them to set the image (just a URL to the Image, I have mine set to a Codeberg Repo containing the images, allows me to change them whenever I choose, and also guarantees stability since image hosts can be fiddly and also allows Tor users to see them more easily (many image hosts have connection issues under Tor, causing connectivity to be inconsistent).
