I’m on the edge of hosting my own lemmy instance but I have a problem of the theoretically infinitely ballooning space requirements.

Are there any options for not saving all the federated images locally? I’d settle for a jank solution such as wiping it via cron or similar.

Thank you

    If you don’t use pict-rs then Lemmy will not proxy images and just use original URLs. Also, in the new version that has not been released yet, you will be able to disable the proxy via config.
