I stood up a Yunohost and installed Mastodon a few months back. I had issues with storage and exponential growth as a result of federating with other instances.

It was just too much work keeping the storage at a minimal level for a single user instance, so I ditched it.

Is there anything like that I need to consider before I try my hand at Lemmy?

Disk space is a bit of a concern since I started hosting this instance. The Lemmy database is 12.2GB and pictrs is 1.8GB after a little over a month. I set all images to convert to WEBP and scale down to save on disk space but the database is growing pretty fast. From my understanding, they already fixed this and we're just waiting for 0.18.3 to release.
