pict-rs volume growing fast
(derp.foo)
I would suggest migrating your pictrs to use object storage, which is often a tenth of the price of block storage.
You can have pict-rs compress your images to WEBP and at a lower resolution.
Lemmy only stores images that are uploaded to your instance and thumbnails for external links. You'll have to switch to object storage eventually.
What the Wandermeister over here said.
Object storage generally is much cheaper than vm disk space (I got 1TB for $5/month at vultr). And the sooner you do it, the better - the migration process took 3 hours for me yesterday, transferring just over 102k files (34 GB).
Support / questions about Lemmy.
