Hey all, I’m fairly new to the Fediverse.

I’m just wondering what is preventing mallard from being shared on Lemmy, K.Bin, etc. via images or other embeds? Is there some file vetting happening under the hood?

    Stripped of executable code. IIRC the issue in particular was that sidebars observed HTML and you could put an iframe with potentially malicious code into them.

      Interesting. Once the development of Lemmy slows down a couple years from now it would be interesting to see a video detailing the hiccups around its growth
