Can anyone recommend a good server for this? I'm looking for one that's federated with everything else.

As someone who used to self-host a Pixelfed instance (RIP), use it with caution. While it has a bunch of great ideas that I've praised, it is also buggy as hell.

How quickly did it burn disk space? I occasionally have to resize my Lemmy VM for the Postgres database, but I’m still on the free tier for object storage after like 1.5 years of running this. I would imagine a photo sharing site would crunch through disk a lot quicker though.

Thankfully, mine was a solo instance. That being said, the disk space was never an issue even when I was federated because remote images failed to load.

Haha, plot twist! That doesn’t sound very useful.

What bugs have you encountered lately? I've been playing around with it (only a couple of days now) and it's overall been very smooth experience for me.
