That's a shame. Kbin seems to have a very Apple approach to its UI, dumbing things down and making it hard to find stuff. I like Lemmy's UI, but would like to be part of the fediverse and not just... the Lemmyverse.

Man, that instantly reminded me of two people I know, one in webdesign and the other a professional programmer. It's a pain.
My thought is this: we often have to deal with people who are absolutely certain about a thing, that's... completely wrong. Disregarding the user's thoughts to fix the user's issue is quite common.
But that wouldn't explain all of it, because anyone in customer service deals with the same stuff, and they usually aren't that bad when they drop the customer service mask.
Sweet, that'll help! Thanks.
Welp. Wanted to post some NSFW stuff, so Imgur's out. Is imgbb fine for NSFW?
I didn't even use third party apps, I just really don't like when companies try to enforce stuff in that way. I'd love for Lemmy to grow big, and it doesn't seem to have the same initial clunkiness and feeling of being lost that you'd have on Mastodon during the Twitter shenanigans. I'm hopeful.
No, the latter is done via a DHT, while the former is a layer on top of IPFS (Filecoin, I guess, as verdare said). Default IPFS behaviour is that you just cache whatever you download, and serve it to others if they request the same file from the network. Basically a huge bittorrent kinda thing. You can also explicitly "pin" files, keeping them cached indefinitely, which is the closest thing to hosting the file, and that's what Filecoin incentivizes, but people also do it without Filecoin involved.
