Just started self hosting this instance. Nothing on the docs mentioned anything about storage considerations.

Wow, that is surprisingly not bad given the size of the instance!

Now I wonder how viable it would be to support video hosting. The answer is almost certainly “God no!”

It is viable through other hostings

Considering this is going to be around a 5 user instance at most I think I’ll be good for awhile. Thanks!

That seems high when you extrapolate that to 10000 users, like a larger instance might have.

It’s all about how many communities your user(s) subscribe to since your instance basically acts as a mirror for those.

My instance has been running for 23 days, and I am pretty much the only active local user:

7.3G    pictrs
5.3G    postgres

edit: I may have a slight Reddit Lemmy problem
