When an instance goes down, all of the images on it go with it. there's going to be a lot from lemm.ee, especially given its size.

Lemm.ee had and still has strict limitations to image uploads, forcing its users to use external image providers like catbox.moe or postimages. So these images should all still be there.

Granted, I'm not sure how the thumbnails for these externally hosted images work and if they're exclusively stored on lemm.ee

The thumbnails are generated indivdually by each instance.

I just compressed all my images, thinking lemm.ee would outlive all the image hosts.
