Just started self hosting this instance. Nothing on the docs mentioned anything about storage considerations.

          It’s all about how many communities your user(s) subscribe to since your instance basically acts as a mirror for those.

          My instance has been running for 23 days, and I am pretty much the only active local user:

          7.3G    pictrs
          5.3G    postgres
          

          edit: I may have a slight Reddit Lemmy problem

            So if you’re the only user (let’s assume for ease) then, that represents all the updates (posts, comments, votes) from each community that you are subscribed to?

      Question if you know: does a lemmy instance have to be publically accessable to work? Like, if I make an instance on my homelab can the instance “fetch” content and serve it faster locally? Could I reply to a post and have others see it? Etc
