hello, on my server on which only Lemmy is running, I don’t understand why it fills up space all the time. Every day it increases by about 1GB thus risking reaching the limit after a short time.

It is not the images’ fault because there is a size limit for uploading and they are also transformed into .webp.

The docker-compose file is the one from Ansible 0.18.2 with the limits for loggin already in it (max-size 50m, max-file 4).

What could it be? Is there anything in particular that I can check?

Thanks!

      I don’t think you should be enjoying the fact that there are some problems that could realistically cause a large portion of Lemmy instances to become unsustainable. We should be working towards a way that we can ensure the Lemmy ecosystem thrives.

        I mean… it was kind of a joke. At the same time, if someone is hosting a database on their own hardware, it is important to understand when and how the database actually releases disk.

        That said, I completely agree that this is an issue that does need to be addressed.
