I’ve had a Lemmy instance running on a VPS with 100 GB of storage for a few months and it has filled up. I’ve been searching for ways to reduce the amount of storage used but so far I am coming up empty. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Instead of using the hard drive for pictrs, I suggest using it’s S3 capabilities and migrating to bucket based storage. You’ll save way more money and keep the expensive VPS hard drive just doing text and DB things. I think I spend maybe a dollar a month in S3 storage.
Is there a guide for switching over?

Thanks for the suggestion! As Nix asked, do you happen to know of a guide or any documentation I could reference for this?
I used the same one @bdonvr@thelemmy.club used - https://crates.io/crates/pict-rs#filesystem-to-object-storage-migration
