Self hosting my own Lemmy instance was so much fun (lemmy.org.il)

Y'all should try it! I loved seeing it popping on other instances' /instances page, and seeing it polling other communities. Also changing the background in my theme was lit.

Lemmy's hosting documentation is a bit rough around the edges, especially the ARM situation (and its contemporary solution), so I had some extra tinkering to do. No shade at all yeah? I appreciate every bit of their work and I jotted down some points that I need to consolidate into a documentation PR soon.

Anyway, I feel like the extra @... on our usernames should be worn as a badge of honor you feel me? ;)

I'm running my own server on a linode. I've got it on the cheapest tier which is $5 a month. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do when the 25GB gets full, I'll have to find out the best way to delete old posts and pictures.

Keep the activity table on a tight leash.

Yeah, I've heard of people using cron jobs to automatically clean activity older than 3 days.

I'm not sure what can be done about image staking up a lot of space, I imagine that'll take up a ton of space after a while. Not sure how that could be cleaned up safely.

I believe there are ways to prune the images store but I haven't dug into that yet.
