Exactly. I did a dumb thing and ran a script to subscribe to the top 50 Lemmy subs from all instances and it skyrocket from 15gb or so to way too much.

Haha. I had my own Lemmy server until 2 days ago but the database got to 40GB and I realised that if I wanted to keep it going I would have to pay $60/month for a dedicated server and even then in a year it would get worse. Considering it was just for me I went back to public servers.
The funny part is I used the domain I purchased which was Lemmy.fail
It lived up to expectations.
The danger factor is how much the pizzas cost. Hopefully they do a cheap weekday special if they are crazy expensive.
Lemmy is great! Oh no, Lemmy.world is down again, I’ll just use my Aussie.zone account and I can post here. Way better than reddit outages.
Just out of interest, how big is the current db in GB? If it’s only text I would assume it would take a long time to get to 100+GB.
Haha! How is the db size going? It seems to grow really fast.
