Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I just setup my own instance a few days ago, if it interests you, do give it a shot!
IIRC reading about it, all data for posts is set to be deleted automatically on a schedule. The catch is that schedule is every 6 months, and it is not configurable currently. From what I read, textual posts of lemmy doesn't consume that much, many reported anywhere from 1-10 GB of data over 6 months - ofcourse it all depends on what kinds of communities are subscribed to your instance.
Not sure if you can restrict image sizes or numbers - atleast not through the admin UI, maybe it's possible through config. You can set global rate limit on image uploads though to not go too crazy.
You can set it so only admins can create communities, or admin would have to approve new communities, or free for all.
If you already have a server, try it out. It shouldn't be tricky, particularly if you're familiar with docker.
