Maybe it’s part of your instance image policy?

Edit - Need coffee and weed before getting on Lemmy. I can’t read apparently and missed that you tried this on your own instance as well. My bad.

There are definitely more vegans on lemmy but given they are frequently targeted with harassment and trolling I doubt all of them are willing to expose themselves to such behavior.

I’m happy lemmy is flexible enough to offer spaces for all of us, assholes be damned. Thanks for offering places for people to feel comfortable!
