One thing that mastodon does is proxying all the media from the federated servers, lemmy does not do this… (yet)
For example on this comment page there are 9 domains trying to connect directly to me according to ublock origin. I suggest blocking all third party requests on your instance using ublock origins advanced mode because the website works fine without them, it might be mostly avatars?
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@beehaw.org
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

ublock origin isn’t a firewall. They aren’t connecting inbound to your system, you are loading content from those servers.
Wait, I thought your instance will copy the media as well? For example, the image from this kbin post is also hosted by your instance here: https://lemmy.one/pictrs/image/a52b7c5e-2dcf-4864-b737-33228fb565b0.png
