Just curious. Couldn’t find out on Google.

Since Lemmy instances are self hosted, I imagine that it would be much less than most social media sites.
What about types of files? Could you upload an animated image sequence or video if the file was small enough?
Does this vary between instances?
Could you even upload stuff such as .zip if admins wanted to specifically allow it?

    Any norms/defaults?

        I know.
        Was just curious.

            Wonder if people have considered automatically forwarding to them, or using them to archive old media.

              You mean, like automatically uploading videos to PeerTube from the Lemmy UI? Yep, that would be nice to have at some point. I’d guess it’s not a priority right now.

        Wonder if a feature to allow admins to set different upload perms to users who have distinguished themselves to different extents and have their max size scale based on server demand would be helpful if it hasn’t been implemented yet.
        Might help lighten the strain from these kinds of events.
