How is your RAM/storage usage? I’m interested in setting up my own instance (no communities, just a username that will always be here) but don’t want to upgrade my VPS again. I already had to do that spinning up a Mastodon server.
Up to 400MB after two days here. I took a look at the code and it looks like Lemmy keeps all ActivityPub JSON for 6 months. It would be nice if it was possible to shorten that.
I’m still happy that I’m hosting my own instance, but I hope this thing doesn’t get too big!

I’m up to about 300MB of disk usage after a day of hosting my own. Curious to see how it grows.
haha better than the 12GB and rising of my single-user Mastodon instance. And this is with deleting my media cache every night.
Mastodon is aggressive with caching media. Akkoma is more lightweight
The pictures folder on my instance is at 1.3GB. It’s just me and my friend. About how many communities are you subscribed to?
Gotcha, thanks. I’m at about 70 so that makes sense then.

For personal use, even a Raspberry Pi is sufficient.
My raspberry pi 4 is using 810mb of RAM and 11gb of file system space.
