I haven't seen one yet. Disk usage this morning on lemmy.world was reported at about 4GB over 11 days (probably low usage). The 100GB drive would probably fill up in 275 days or so if usage did not increment. If it's not redundant and dies, all that content is lost.
So storage will be a huge issue for lemmy unless I'm missing something.
Can content be stored somewhere like S3 instead of spinning disk? It would certainly be more robust and cheaper.
100GB is practically nothing nowadays.
There are people (myself included, not to brag) running home servers with literally hundreds of terabytes of data. At that ~0.3 GB/day number, I alone could host 3,500 years worth of data. Get some of those r/DataHoarders and r/HomeLab guys on here and Lemmy would never run out of space.
