I’ve had a Lemmy instance running on a VPS with 100 GB of storage for a few months and it has filled up. I’ve been searching for ways to reduce the amount of storage used but so far I am coming up empty. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
what is stored in received_activity ? anything important? I mean obviously it’s something the instance has received from other instances but is this then stored somewhere else (like comments then stored elsewhere for eg)
it’s in alpha currently, but you could still run it
I think you might have to use the :dev tag to get this update, a bit risky to stay on that tag though, maybe wait for the next docker image of an alpha release

Nothing references it.
Nothing seems to have gone wrong in the past week on thelemmy.club since I removed it. I do have backups though.
in v0.19.0 Lemmy will automatically delete entries over 7 days old

currently it waits 3 months before deleting
Time to update then!

Well now you can use
:0.19.0-rc.5:)epic :)
oh btw 3rd party apps aren’t working with 0.19.0 yet, because of changes to the authentication API
Good to know. I’ll check it out.
