Over the next week or so I’m sure a lot of people are going to try spinning up Lemmy instances - I’ve certainly been looking at it.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a VPS provider / resource allocation?

From what I have read, it sounds like you’re going to want a host that focuses on storage / bandwidth (at least if you are allowing image upload), but maybe those of you already operating an instance have a different opinion?

    The 100Gb is on a volume which I can extend to 10TB, and then I can also add more volumes as I use LVM on linux. :-)

      Right, that’s what I’m planning to do for a personal instance as well. I’m just curious whether there is any way to prune the database of content older than say, 1 year. We’re still early in the game for Lemmy adoption, so if usage picks up there must be some way to address it other than adding more disk space.
