Tor-Enabled Lemmy Instances: A Dream for Direct Media Sharing (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Imagine if there were Tor-enabled Lemmy instances, allowing users to share direct media links without any restrictions. The thought alone is enough to make me salivate. Do you think there will be any instances like these if the developers make it possible?

Do you know if that's possible?

If an instance has an onion address, the text will come through Tor; however, pictures from other instances will still go through exit nodes since only the instance that hosts a community serves the media. My understanding is that Kbin federates everything but I haven’t used it and am unsure how it interacts with a Lemmy for media.

What about if it's an unfederated instance?

That's possible already.
