Does lemmy store remote instance's images?
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?

Your instance will locally generate and save thumbnails for external links in posts.
Ah, great thanks. That sounds much smaller in file size than mirroring all embedded content.
Maybe thumbnails?
