Selfhosting lemmy with no pictrs (sh.itjust.works)

Hi all. Due to the news of the illegal images being hosted on lemmy, I shut down my instance. I read some comments from people stating that they were able to selfhost lemmy without pictrs, they just can't upload or cache photos. I think this is what I am interested in doing at this time.

I tried commenting out the pictrs section of my docker-compose.yml and removed the "depends on pictrs" sections. However, I get the error message in the attached screenshot when I go to my page.

Does anyone have any info on how to selfhost lemmy with image hosting completely disabled?

I wonder if you instead of disabling Pictrs you could just block image uploads to your Lemmy site, or maybe use a PiHole or Adguard on your network to block them.

But then I wouldn't be able to see photos on my instance. I want to see them, I just don't want the federated cache being saved on my SSD.

Hmmm... I do not have Pictrs because I am using the Yunohost Lemmy package, so there are no images on my instance, but I can still see images while logged into my instance.
