There have been users spamming CSAM content in [email protected] causing it to federate to other instances. If your instance is subscribed to this community, you should take action to rectify it immediately. I recommend performing a hard delete via command line on the server.

I deleted every image from the past 24 hours personally, using the following command: sudo find /srv/lemmy/example.com/volumes/pictrs/files -type f -ctime -1 -exec shred {} \;

Note: Your local jurisdiction may impose a duty to report or other obligations. Check with these, but always prioritize ensuring that the content does not continue to be served.

Update

Apparently the Lemmy Shitpost community is shut down as of now.

What is CSAM?

I'm not subscribed to that community, but I guess I'm glad Pictrs doesn't work for me, since I am using the Yunohost version of Lemmy. The creators of the Yunohost package couldn't get it to work. I haven't really missed it honestly.

Can you run lemmy without pictrs? What behavior is different?

I am using the Lemmy easy deploy would this command works?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

You'll need to find where the actual container files are being stored. I'm unfortunately not familiar with Lemmy Easy Deploy, but you should have a folder that has some files/folders like docker-compose.yml, volumes, lemmy.hjson.

The important one is the volumes/pictrs/files folder, take the full path of that folder and replace it with the /srv/lemmy/example.com... path from the original post, and then that command should work.

There was a weird JSON error I was getting in the last few minutes. I'm not sure if this is at all related.

As far as I know, images should not be federating to federated instances, right? Image proxying is supposed to be added to pictrs version 0.5.0 but it is still in alpha.
