You just use three backticks to start and end a code block, it’s just markdown.

e.g.

version: '3.4' 
  
services:
   vaultwarden: 
     image: vaultwarden/server:latest 
     restart: always 
     # environment: 
     #   SIGNUPS_ALLOWED: 'false' 
     #   ADMIN_TOKEN: 'your authentication token' 
     ports: 
       - '127.0.0.1:8200:80' 
     volumes: 
       - vaultwarden-data:/data/ 
...

As others said, you’re talking about CGI

I think a lot of the issue is the widespread use of the term Intellectual Property which, arguably deliberately, conflates a few completely distinct legal concepts under one umbrella.

Yeah, it’s only communities that people on your instance search for/subscribe to afaik. So if you’re the only one on your instance then you have control over that.

Further to that it’s only the post objects (and comments, etc.) that is replicated all pics and videos are just URLs. even when you upload a picture with the post, that’s just uploaded to the instance and the link to it is the link of the post, even on other instances the images are fetched from the original source from the client side. I do believe each instance does local thumbnaling.

The main reason I see for not holding off is a bug I encountered on day one of moving to lemmy. Moderators from a different instance to the community “home instance” changing the settings (description, etc.) just breaks the community, kills its federation and causes the link to 404, the only way to resolve is a sysadmin changing the value in their database. That’s gnarly and is well worth updating for. Hopefully in future the lemmy devs will do low risk patch releases for critical bugs, alongside feature releases, so that you can update for stability without signing up for new features with new bugs.

It appears this instance straight-up has NSFW disabled, you can’t opt-in to seeing NSFW posts on your feed nor make posts marked as such. I might be wrong about what it being disabled means. So that issue may be moot and not require defederation.

One the flip side I do wonder if a blanket disabling of “NSFW” is too much, there are plenty of things that one might reasonably wish to mark or be marked as NSFW that is not porn, gore, or other such content. This could have the effect of either stifling some of the communities on this instance or people posting things in the grey area without marking them NSFW, even if they would have if the button to do so we’re present and people scrolling may have preferred that they did.

Food for thought.

From my cursory inspection of how things are working, all the the content is replicated between instances but things like images are just links, the UI and the back-end provide a means to upload an image but what that is doing is uploading an image to the user’s instance and then putting the link in the post. Pretty standard stuff for a link aggregator. The important thing here is that the image itself is not replicated around the fediverse, but stays where it was uploaded and is linked to. Of course, thumbnails seem to still be locally generated as you’d expect.

So the legal issue is diminished by that, but not illuminated. Something like loli hentai that is illegal in the UK won’t be hosted on these servers even if posted on a federated server, though I’m not saying it wouldn’t be reasonable to defederate from that instance on other grounds than legal liability. However the thumbnail is a very low resolution image of illegal content, and I don’t think lemmy has some kind of “grey list” where content is still available through your instance but nothing of consequence gets replicated locally, thumbnails not generated, etc. I’m not sure what the legal situation is surrounding outlinks to illegal content not thumbnails thereof. Furthermore I don’t know what kind of protections platforms have when it come to liability for user-generated content, like the US Section 230, but I don’t think there is much.

It might be better to host the actual servers for this instance outside of the UK as a result, that could very well be the case anyway.

Anyway IANAL and I’ve only done some cursory poking around into how lemmy handles the replication of content between instances so there are almost certainly things I’m overlooking.

I recently bought RIF golden platinum just to give back to the dev, knowing that very soon the app will stop working. I’m hoping the dev could reuse his code and swap out the backend to make a lemmy client of the same caliber. It really is a good app.
