    Thanks! Really interesting :)

    How much would you say your daily traffic and disk usage increase is? I heard that Lemmy only stores text, and media is hosted only on the instance on which it’s uploaded on.

      The database is currently at 19.9 GiB, and it increases so slowly I haven’t noticed anything :P.

      I heard that Lemmy only stores text, and media is hosted only on the instance on which it’s uploaded on.

      Depends on how you configure it, I have it only store media from my local users by setting image_mode: "None" in lemmy.hjson (the config file), so that doesn’t increase a lot. I use Exoscale as my object storage provider.

      Regarding traffic usage, I can’t tell you precisely because I use Cloudflare and that caches a lot of data. In the past 18 days there have been 108GB transferred from my VPS (data from Hetzner). These are the analytics from cloudflare:

      btw if you plan on buying a Hetzner VPS it would be awesome if you used my referral link: https://hetzner.cloud/?ref=xNvN4vWKXSzw to get 20€ in credits for free, and I also get 10€ if you decide to buy something from them.
