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?
The person you replied to is wrong. That 6 months has nothing to do with removing old comments or postings.
Cool! What’s the 6 months thing about then?
The programmers were using it to debug things. Right now it’s just doubling the storage ;)
Someone asked the developers 5 days ago about it: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3103
Pretty sure OP-comment misinterpreted the code. My best guess is that they’re simply pruning an index or something like that.
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.
