Hot on the heels of LCS (https://lemmy.world/post/557346), I bring you Lemmy Post Purger (LPP).

Instances can grow fast, and that can be a problem if you have limited disk space. If you don't mind losing history that your users have not interacted with, LPP can help. It will purge posts along with their comments and media before a certain time period if no comments, likes, or saves exist for users on your instance.

Where can we suggest improvements?

This could be a very powerful tool if the right options are added. One of the things I'd like to see is the ability to set an upvote or comment threshold. If posts were popular, I would like to keep them. If, however, a post received very little upvotes and had little interaction, there's not much value in keeping it. And I'm talking about all interactions here, not just from members of our own instances.

This doesn't seem like a very hard thing to implement and would be well received.

On the GitHub issues page would be a good place. That particular option would just be added to the query.
