Is there any benefit to host my own instance?

I’m up to about 300MB of disk usage after a day of hosting my own. Curious to see how it grows.

haha better than the 12GB and rising of my single-user Mastodon instance. And this is with deleting my media cache every night.

Mastodon is aggressive with caching media. Akkoma is more lightweight

The pictures folder on my instance is at 1.3GB after two days. It's just me and my friend. About how many communities are you subscribed to?

  1. Some of those are lemmy.ml and not a lot of comments, etc have synced yet.

Up to 400MB after two days here. I took a look at the code and it looks like Lemmy keeps all ActivityPub JSON for 6 months. It would be nice if it was possible to shorten that.

I'm still happy that I'm hosting my own instance, but I hope this thing doesn't get too big!
