My instance increases by 1GB per day (lemmy.ml)

hello, on my server on which only Lemmy is running, I don't understand why it fills up space all the time. Every day it increases by about 1GB thus risking reaching the limit after a short time.

It is not the images' fault because there is a size limit for uploading and they are also transformed into .webp.

The docker-compose file is the one from Ansible 0.18.2 with the limits for loggin already in it (max-size 50m, max-file 4).

What could it be? Is there anything in particular that I can check?

Thanks!

I'm purging much more aggressively than that an so far so good.

Good to know, thanks! I have space to spare, but I'll probably make it more aggressive to save on backup size
