I just noticed that my pictrs image volume reached 20 GBs in size. Does Lemmy or pictrs not delete the cached images automatically after some time?

Yep. They did go away. I just uploaded them back again. Mine is a single user instance and I don't upload much, so it wasn't a big problem.

I hope the Lemmy devs implement this in v1.0.0 because this is pretty annoying.
