Risks of running a Lemmy/Mbin instance? (lemm.ee)

What are the risks associated with this? With image uploading capabilities and the like I'm thinking there might be an issue with people posting highly illegal content. I used to run some smaller forums 15 years ago and that went fine, but it feels like the risks are higher today... I'm both thinking about one's own personal mental health in needing to moderate such content, and also whether it'll be a legal liability to run an instance if people post illegal content.

Now that they added image proxying I feel a lot better about it, but it's still risky since it gets piped through my server
