Great work!
This got me thinking, does Lemmy clear orphan pictrs files? Say a user uploads an image but never submits the comment/post? That file is still on your pictrs and publicly linkable. And what if the post or comment is removed by moderator or deleted by the author? Is Lemmy cleaning these up?
I don't think anything in lemmy is currently clearing that. There are community scripts around that do some clearing but I have not tried them.
