Image hosting is expensive, so I was wondering what is the financial situation like, and how can we keep this “crucial” (obviously) instance alive.

    I haven’t waded through the config to look yet, but glad to see you found something that works for your instance. Lurked your profile a bit (sorry) and saw that pict.rs was able to point to object storage, did you end up doing that already?

      Nope. Right now the pict-rs version that supports S3 is not stable yet. I tried to migrate on staging server tho. It worked there. I’ll migrate as soon as pict-rs goes stable.

        Nice! Looks like the new version will solve part of the storage issue once it drops. I’ve also been reading reports of “database bloat” but have very few details to go on. Have you been seeing any other storage related problems besides media?

            Ah, good to know. Lemmy is mostly great for me already, but once a few more bugs get worked out I’ll definitely be standing up my own instance, though nothing as grand as lemmynsfw. Thanks for indulging me in all of my questions.

              You’re welcome. I just suggest you don’t forget to increase the number of nginx workers :)

                I’ll definitely be doing that. Seems to have made a huge difference from what I’ve read. Thanks a lot!
