The thumbnails are generated indivdually by each instance.
I just compressed all my images, thinking lemm.ee would outlive all the image hosts.

Maybe you made the original.
I also made one I posted, but it was about fedora eating the MacOS bootloader or something like that.
I would guess it has by now.
I posted this here last year.
I sorted by top of all time on my profile, uploaded the images to another site, and hotlinked them in the post.
For any people in the future.
Not most, they do keep tiny thumbnails though.
Servers can:
- Proxy images
- Save them locally
- just link to them.
Most do the latter as its cheaper.
For people from the future, here's a link that wont break when lemm.ee shuts down. https://i.postimg.cc/Z5TrSF54/image.png
kbin was a lemmy compatible software.
It has all of the lemmy features, with a really nice ui and microblogging (like twitter).
kbin.social was the main instance, it had a lot of users.
The dev eventually abandoned the project, and kbin.social decayed untill it finally stopped working.
It was forked (code copied by a new group, to keep the project alive) by the mbin project.
https://kbin.earth/ is an mbin instance, for example, that's still up.
Mastodon purges them after a while though.
I'm editing some of my posts to use those.
Not really, it means I can't send every lemmy instance csam.
Yeah :(
