My lemmy instance seems to be using a lot of storage, I am the only one using it and for like 10 minutes a day. it’s currently using about 122 gb, after about 3 months of usage
seeing the usage of other ppl this seems really big? Am i doing someting wrong?
edit:
it is also using a lot of memory, i dont know exactly how much but it seems to be most of my system’s available ram (16 gb)

Edit: If you are hosting it yourself in docker, don’t use the :latest tag. As of right now that will install 0.19 which is still in alpha. Use dessalines/lemmy:0.18.5

Could be what communities you are subscribed to. I run a small instance with about 3ish users, and here are my stats after about 3 months as well:
What version of lemmy are you using? A recent update also introduced some space savings in the database (I think).
