Where does Lemmy store upvotes, downvotes, and replies? (lemmy.world)

Does ActivityPub send those to other instances, or does ActivityPub only send the original post and the rest (upvotes, downvotes, replies) are stored only on the original server where the post was made?

Thanks for the info! Ior performance reasons it would be nice to have a way to configure how long the cache is kept rather than disable it completely, but I understand you probably have other priorities.

Would disabling the cache remove images cached up to that point?

You will have to wait for 0.19 to disable it. Pictrs 0.5 will also add a way to clear old images. See the issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4053

That sounds great, thanks for letting me know.
