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!

Back in the early 2000s, Usenet servers could store posts in a fixed-size database with the oldest posts expiring as new posts came in. This approach would mean that you can't index everything forever, but it does allow you to provide your users with current posts without having infinite storage space.
