I wonder what the stats on running a lemmy instance are.

How much time needs to be invested, how much data storage is needed, what kind of traffic volume is to be expected?

      Wait, nothing lasts here on lemmy for more than 6 months!? I swear I’ve seen much older stuff here?

      Lemmy will clean up posts older than six months.

      That’s a wrong interpretation of that code. There is a table call ‘activity’ that is a debug log. It does not clear comments and postings to truncate that table at 6 months. The app doesn’t read from that table, it only writes to it.
