Just purge stuff older than X if storage becomes an issue and make people use image hosts outside of lemmy
I'm more of an archivist, belive that will cause loss of many meaningfull conversation and information.
@Cloudkid This is where hosting your own instance is better as even things on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter won't last forever as it only really stays till they can't be bothered to keep the older stuff no one looks at intact, The only way to make sure things stay is by hosting it yourself and I really do hope it gets easier over time to host your own Fediverse Instance.
i would like to see a drop in word-press like (fuck wordpress) install for a fully-federatable instance.
im sure there are many products there or nearly there. It smells like opportunity for the right, talented folks.
im having a blast with mbin on aws
@originalucifer Glad you're having fun with Mbin, I know I recently moved across to Mbin on Kbin.run as of the bug fixes and stuff. Sadly don't know how to create my own instance as would love to create it on a sub-domain of the website I run for business as I'm sure connecting to the Fediverse from my own instance would be really cool and would help me control what I see, so much more also would make it easier when it comes to getting Family and Friends Involved.
theres a great crew in the devs/other admins of mbin on matrix, and i am always happy to help if you ever decide to give it a go.
you can probably do it very cheaply. i went the most expensive route, and im payin ~$1.00/day. not using aws, you could maybe that down to $0.25
one thing to keep in mind, once your instance is up with a domain name (myinstance.mydomain.com) it cant really be changed.
im an old sysadmin, i hate social media... i just like looking at the numbers..keeping things running. my hate for the new reddit has overtaken my hate for social media.
@originalucifer Thank you, it's something that I am really interested in, just need to be in the right mindset to be ready to get that going. I knew about the domain not being able to change and have already thought about the subdomain I would use as I think just calling it something simple like Social.mydomain.com is something that would work and make people understand why it's called that.
I have used the docker images also by the same dev, but perhaps Lemmy-Easy-Deploy is kinda what you're looking for?
