Can you even run a self-instance just for an account that doesn't actually store anything from the communities? Or does Lemmy not support out of the box?
Like, if you really just want to have your own account, you don't need to duplicate all that federated content. But if there's no way to prevent it, then you're forced to use up all that storage and I can see people just opting to disconnect after a while.
Yeah but it's only content for communities you sub to. I've been running this instance since about 2 weeks after the rexodus and I'm sitting at about 14GB.
That being said I would like some additional tools to manage data retention.
Edit: 14 GB not 25.
currently sitting at ~50gb with a few users and cummunities after 2 months
