    I wonder how much disk space the big instances are using… I’m only at a dozen users. I have subscribed to most of the largest communities across the “threadiverse” so my instance is caching a copy of everything happening across those. I’m under 2GB space used so far.

    I imagine it’s mostly the media uploads. I think that doesn’t get cached, just the text. But anything a user uploads will get saved to their instance’s storage. I think.

        Huh, that’s it? I think my free 150GB on my server will do nicely then. I plan to cap my user count at 100 (active) so it doesn’t get out of hand.

      I was also under the impression that instances don’t cache remote images, but I’m seeing a lot of cached images under volumes/pictrs/files.
