No, that was stopped prior to the upgrade to 0.18, as it would have been contributing to federation issues.

I wanted an instance specifically for Australians... so I made one 😀
Your instance must be very new, very few users, very inactive... or all of the above. I stood up aussie.zone just under a month ago, Postgres DB is currently 9.6GB.
Yep, that is nearly but not always the case.
Nope... thats what I'm talking about.. image posts to remote communities, with the images being sourced from my instance. Like I said, next time I spot it I'll dig into it further.
What software is your instance running?
Yeah profile pics are fine. I'm specifically talking about image posts. Next time I spot one I'll see if the post came from a user on my instance. If not, I have no idea why the post image would be on my instance.
Yeah post content I understand. Linked or posted images though are not consistently handled, so I'm not sure what circumstances lead to my instance pulling the image from a remote community.
That may explain it... point being, content for remote communities isn't entirely "remote". I'd like to understand what goes where a lot better. I've not found it explained anywhere, and I'm not a coder so can't just "read the code yourself".
That isn't entirely true. I'm not exactly sure why, but I've definitely seen image posts made to remote communities that are hosted on my instance.
Me too. I think because there are actual real life people here, not just astroturfing bots and paid actors.
I've been seeing occasional odd behaviour on the server that seems to be database maintenance related. It happens sporadically throughout the day, with no pattern that I can see. When it happens, I've noticed a few brief periods of errors browsing the site. Its possible your bot has been unlucky and attempted to post during one of these times.
I'm hoping lemmy 0.18.1 will resolve this, I know there has been a lot of effort put into optimising database queries etc. If it doesn't, I'll dig into it further and raise a github issue with the lemmy devs.
