I run a pretty locked down Firefox browser and I noticed when browsing lemmy.world that the browser wants to pull stuff from a long list of other instances, which fails because they aren’t trusted. Is this normal? I thought an instance would collect the things you are subscribed to and store them locally so that you didn’t have to go talk to 20 different servers. Not true?

    Interesting, I dug through my networks requests with ublock off and I don’t see any remote scripts. Only requests to media.kbin and lemmy/pictrs locations on various instances. Any idea which pages you’re seeing that on?

      Well I was wrong, I checked my network panel and it’s definitely just thumbnails that it’s fetching, I’m dumb I thought that only domains that served scripts ended up in the uBO matrix panel, I did a test and it does that with any third party content instead, static or not :p
