what happens when you clear pictrs? you mean just deleting the folder? does that break stuff?
for comparison, my instance is only communities and no users (FAQ here: https://programming.dev/post/442419 )
it's about 5 days old but not much activity
the latest backup is only 7.4 MB zipped, I use this backup script
like I said though, not much activity
and here's how my backup zip files have grown in size over time
Tested deleting the pictrs/files/001 which was at that point at ~150mb. And yes, it broke stuff. For example my Avatar and a local test community logo. To "purge" it, something would need to compare it to the database i guess. My size probably comes from /c/memes ๐
I thought remote images aren't cached localy ๐ค
I think it might just be thumbnails that are cached locally? And obviously your own banner and local images
Looks like random? Both images are from meme@lemmy.ml didn't post on any of these 2 threads. It would be nice to know why sometimes its get copied. https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/b2e8d1e4-b638-4d04-9710-9fa28756261d.jpeg?format=webp https://lemmy.gwa.app/pictrs/image/962b1734-d524-468c-b3f9-4d615f91f094.png?format=webp
The interesting thing is, both posts originated from .world and when opened from the original sources are also hosted the.
