pictrs isn’t even taking up that much space, postgres takes up most !

I also noticed the logs were growing and taking up quite some gb's. I've used truncate
to make the syslog smaller and journalctl
vacuum
to keep that smaller
i'm trying to find documentation for this config but can't find any. Do you have a link maybe ?
thanks for your detailed how-to ! Will try this, hopefully it holds 2 more weeks I'm leaving for holidays now :)
oh it's visible because I'm admin/ mod ?
For me it were the last 30 or something entries in local_user. They all didn’t have email_verified. I access the db through Postico. Also removed all other older accounts that didn’t verify their email address
Mine too I see now. You can only ban a user when they have posted something right ? There is no list for admins of all users registered ? Maybe I'll do it direct in the database..
no, a random image I just now check was 3.3mb even. But you're right, the image source does point to the origins server location... Then why are all those images stored on the server ?
When I look on my server in the volumes/pictrs folder, there are a LOT of images that I recognize from my feed. They are not from posts posted to my server but belong to posts of communities that I have subscribed to
Thats the way the decentralized fediverse works (I think!) let me know if I’m wrong
only pictures and posts that the instance-member are subscribed to, and from the moment they interacted with it. But yes, I'm curious to see where this goes.
I noticed it when I was looking in the database and disk on my instance, where there are already thousands of posts and more then a thousand images - while my own instance only has a couple of posts and images
14 days later, my postgres directory was 12GB. I was still on 18.1. Updated to 18.3 just now. Postgres directory was downscaled to 2.6GB !!! Thank you Lemmy dev's and contributors !!
