  • When you go through a website to get royalty free music make sure to document everything with screenshots or print outs or so.

    The song I used in my game was supposed to be completely free but the composer has since pulled it from that site and is instead monetising it aggressively on YouTube and other places. I asked them directly for permission again and can luckily still use it as long as I don’t put it on Facebook.






  • You’re already doing it. Even though your account is on lemmy.world you are posting to a community on lemmy.ml and I am answering from my own server on swg-empire.de.

    Your server has its own communities but it also receives all the posts, comments and votes from external communities that are on other servers if someone from your server has subscribed to these external communities.

    Mastodon is similar but there you follow people instead of communities. You still can follow Lemmy communities as if they were users to get all their posts and comments but it is clunky. You can post from Mastodon to a Lemmy community by mentioning it in a post with an @ in front. The first line of the post will be used as the title.











  • I think this should default to off. Lemmy is heavy enough as it is. Caching images from unknown sources just puts additional unneeded strain on all your resources.

    Apart from that when some dipshit decides to post CSAM again to another instance you could be liable if you get them on your server.

    Much better to turn caching off instead of dealing with those problems.
