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?

Duck sharing is prohibited

We've been infiltrated.

Lemmy is actually full of quack addicts.

Phew! That's a load off my mind. I've been worried about that for a long time.

Welcome,

There were issues a while back, which were fixed in security patches.

Wasn't work done not too long ago with emojis or something?

[-] ram@bookwormstory.social 3 points 2 years ago

Custom emoji was one, and another one in July(?) was in sidebars not being sanitized

What do you mean by sanitized?

[-] ram@bookwormstory.social 2 points 2 years ago

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
