I am sorry, but if you are running the instance, unless you are running a large instance, can't you just not upload images yourself, and tell those that does have an account to not do it?

IIRC images also get federated over to your instance.
Ah, after rereading the post, that is probably what OP are looking for
Well, both. I want to grow my instance a bit and also don't want other people to post weird stuff in my communities
You can set the allowed file size to be really low, but users will still be able to upload, or at least attempt it.
Interesting idea, thanks
Where can I find that option? Is it during instance-setup?
Found it: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/17357923/9209304
On 0.19.3, you can:
- Limit the file upload size for local users through nginx configuration
- Disable incoming federated images through Lemmy configuration: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/config/defaults.hjson#L49 (set this to false)
Additional: On https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/docker/nginx.conf, there is an option "client_max_body_size" that you can set to 0.
Can you set a really small min file size for uploads?
