So over the past month, this instance has used a whopping 30gigs. That comes solely from being connected to other Lemmy instances. I appreciate the people from other instances who have found this place and find what I (and hopefully one day others!) post here, but it’s tapping out the capacity of the tiny little server I run this instance on.

After talking to a lot of people about docker and other tools I do not understand so well, I have a new shiny purge post tool. It will purge any posts from the server that no one from this instance has interacted with after a week. If no one from this instance has liked, bookmarked, etc a post, it’s gone in a week.

That should allow me to keep this place going for a while longer. I should probably have the tool attached to a bot user, instead of me, but meh.
