How quickly did it burn disk space? I occasionally have to resize my Lemmy VM for the Postgres database, but I’m still on the free tier for object storage after like 1.5 years of running this. I would imagine a photo sharing site would crunch through disk a lot quicker though.

Thankfully, mine was a solo instance. That being said, the disk space was never an issue even when I was federated because remote images failed to load.

Haha, plot twist! That doesn’t sound very useful.
