For some reason on my self hosted lemmy instance, I've managed to accumulate about 50GB worth of data inside my pictrs docker volume. I'm the only person on my instance and I've never uploaded any photos to my server other than my profile photo, profile banner, and site logo. Shouldn't all photos be hosted on other instances?

If it is not safe to simply delete the folders within the _data folder, how would I go about clearing out these files without it harming my server? Thanks in advance, as you can probably tell, I'm definitely new to self hosting my own social services. Thank you!

As a proud and loud member of the FOSS community, I will say this: The FOSS community is cringe as hell and people need to start going back to the root of the movement and remember that we are about CHOICE and FREEDOM.

If you're judging somebody for using the platform of their choice, FOSS or not, you are the problem.

Thanks so much for this! Been wondering about all of the other lemmy UI options out there. I'm currently hosting old reddit and alexandrite but now I have my eyes on Photon!

Oops didn't realize what community I was in, my b!

If OP is looking for FOSS I suggest Element for Matrix. You can screenshare on there as well.

Just share your screen on discord

You got it. Please feel free to share it around! So happy to hear it helped at least one person.

First success story!!! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions, as I'm still learning myself and really enjoy sharing what I've learned.

Action sports games like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, 1080, Wave Race, Steep, and more. I mentioned Steep because it's the latest mainstream attempt but I feel like it never really found it's footing.

Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for.

Well, time to start teaching myself how to create a docker container. Forking will be no issue, but creating the container will be completely new grounds for me. Thanks for the new project idea!

I started on lemmy.world, then decided to learn self-hosting server infrastructure and made my own instance. Found a script that allows me to "auto-discover" all communities from given instance URLs, so I just added the instances that interest me. Boom, I have an instance with all of my favorite instances searchable and discoverable on "All".

For those interested in the script you can find it here. Do note that you should NOT use the default settings and make sure to use an instance whitelist, otherwise it'll pull every instance ever.

 

Hello world!

Was wondering if there was a way to edit the CSS/HTML of my lemmy instance. It's my own personal instance, so I'd love to add links that would help me get around easier and really make my instance my own.

I have access to the entire server, and I know a fair bit about navigating debian and editing files and all that. I'm still a bit of a noob though and do not know where the header/footer/css/files are stored on my live instance.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Yeah pretty much.

It only pulls from communities you have subscribed to. Images aren't duplicated per server, just text; so even if you find something nasty it's not hosted by you and you can always delete comments from the database/block users from appearing in your instance.

I made a guide on how to go from zero to hero: Self hosting a lemmy server. All you need is an old pc, a thumb drive, and some time.

Please let me know if there are errors. This is the first draft. Thank you!!!
