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? ;)
You nailed it, it only pulls posts from communities that someone on your instance subbed to. It doesn’t even pull retroactively; your instance only starts pulling posts created after the first subscriber on the instance subbed.
I’m more concerned regarding media, because just like Mastodon, the pics themselves are copied from other instances onto yours. I hope it will be enough to just find -mtime -delete once in a while

What’s that?
Some people say manually purging the activity table for entries older than a week or so should be safe enough.
