Just started self hosting this instance. Nothing on the docs mentioned anything about storage considerations.

    Yeah, and I purposely subscribe to (or sometimes have a dedicated “federation helper bot” account I run subscribe to) most of the most popular communities on the most popular instances so I can get a decent sampling of what’s going on in the fediverse on the “All” feed. So I assume my storage usage is maybe a bit higher than what an “average” single-user instance may be…

      lmao same here. I have a spare account that I use to sub to everything worth subbing to. I haven’t automated it yet though.

      Ooh, that’s a really good idea, I need a federation helper bot/account when I start self-hosting a Lemmy instance!

        Yeah it’s not automated or anything, I just pop an incognito window and use it when there is a communitI think is worth seeing sometimes in “All” (or just for archiving purposes) but don’t want to clutter “Subscribed”. I may make something to auto-subscribe to communities meeting some criteria or something at some point in the future…
