Sorry not interested in any hooks into Reddit, or additional software requiring ongoing management.
It was removed deliberately during the reddit exodus in order to direct new Lemmy users elsewhere. Rather than to overload lemmy.ml further.
Hey I do exactly the same, high 5!
Good bot.
The largest table holds data that is only needed by Lemmy briefly. There is a scheduled job to clear it... Every 6 months. There are active discussions on how best to handle this.
On my instance I've set a cronjob to delete everything but the most recent 100k rows of that table every hour.
Ok yeah, I guess for external links direct to images it makes sense for the image to be retrieved by each instance. Still, its not intuitive behaviour and it doesn't seem to be widely understood at all.
Thanks for reporting back.
I wish I knew.. I've seen the behavior you've described, but others tell me it doesn't happen.
Your instance must be very new, very few users, very inactive... or all of the above. I stood up aussie.zone just under a month ago, Postgres DB is currently 9.6GB.
Yep, that is nearly but not always the case.
Nope... thats what I'm talking about.. image posts to remote communities, with the images being sourced from my instance. Like I said, next time I spot it I'll dig into it further.
What software is your instance running?
Yeah profile pics are fine. I'm specifically talking about image posts. Next time I spot one I'll see if the post came from a user on my instance. If not, I have no idea why the post image would be on my instance.
That's fine.
