Lemm.ee had and still has strict limitations to image uploads, forcing its users to use external image providers like catbox.moe or postimages. So these images should all still be there.
Granted, I'm not sure how the thumbnails for these externally hosted images work and if they're exclusively stored on lemm.ee
Catbox, notably, is also on the verge of shutting down.
Patreon dropped them.
Also, not necessarily on the verge anymore.
Wtf tumblr
I thought by "not on the verge anymore" you were implying that catbox is no more and not the opposite. Good to hear, already donated too 😊
Love to hear it.
The thumbnails are generated indivdually by each instance.
I just compressed all my images, thinking lemm.ee would outlive all the image hosts.
