Just started self hosting this instance. Nothing on the docs mentioned anything about storage considerations.

            It’s all about how many communities your user(s) subscribe to since your instance basically acts as a mirror for those.

            My instance has been running for 23 days, and I am pretty much the only active local user:

            7.3G    pictrs
            5.3G    postgres
            

            edit: I may have a slight Reddit Lemmy problem

              So if you’re the only user (let’s assume for ease) then, that represents all the updates (posts, comments, votes) from each community that you are subscribed to?

                Yeah, and I purposely subscribe to (or sometimes have a dedicated “federation helper bot” account I run subscribe to) most of the most popular communities on the most popular instances so I can get a decent sampling of what’s going on in the fediverse on the “All” feed. So I assume my storage usage is maybe a bit higher than what an “average” single-user instance may be…

      Now I wonder how viable it would be to support video hosting. The answer is almost certainly “God no!”

        It is viable through other hostings
