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

    So if you’re the only user (let’s assume for ease) then, that represents all the updates (posts, comments, votes) from each community that you are subscribed to?

      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…
