I might take over one of these one-year-free hosted Lemmy instances on my server infrastructure, but I read several times now that Lemmy’s image hosting system Pict-rs is using a lot of storage quickly.

The server I could run this on is limited to 32gb ssd storage with no easy way to expand it.

Is there some way to limit the image storage use and automatically prune old images that are not user or community icons or such?

    That sounds promising. Any idea when 0.4 will be released?

    Object-storage on large cloud providers is not an option for me for various reasons (privacy, legal etc.).

      I can only say “when it’s ready.” I think most of what I want to include in 0.4 is there, but I don’t have a ton of time to work on it currently. I might see if I can get my last feature changes in this weekend, then it will be a matter of ensuring the 0.3 -> 0.4 upgrade is smooth, and that storage migration is solid

        Update on this: I got the feature work done this weekend, so now I’ll be testing it a bunch for upgrades and storage migrations
