It was my home to my account. I didn’t catch any announcement it would be going down. 2 weeks ago the website started throwing errors (50* internal server errors) and since a week it is completely unreachable. There are still DNS records resolving the domain, but the site seems completely gone.

    I wonder how many of those were single user instances. I’ve seen a lot of people on here running their own instance just to host their own account and no communities.

      Can you even run a self-instance just for an account that doesn’t actually store anything from the communities? Or does Lemmy not support out of the box?

      Like, if you really just want to have your own account, you don’t need to duplicate all that federated content. But if there’s no way to prevent it, then you’re forced to use up all that storage and I can see people just opting to disconnect after a while.

        Yeah but it’s only content for communities you sub to. I’ve been running this instance since about 2 weeks after the rexodus and I’m sitting at about 14GB.

        That being said I would like some additional tools to manage data retention.

        Edit: 14 GB not 25.
