Grateful for all Lemmy admins

You can't use like a back blaze bucket like mastodon to store all the junk?
You can, but what would that solve?

I'm not exactly sure, I just remember reading it was recommended to not fill up tons of space on your server when I was setting up mastodon, I think my server was at like 300gb last I checked.
I planned to go back and try to set it up to see what the rates were

Yeah, it solves absolutely nothing. Instead of my own server storing too many pictures I would have to pay for a second server to store too many pictures.

Sometimes home just feels like home! Having the ability to migrate a user entity independent of instance might encourage more of it though. Would be nice for comms too - eg. If somewhere like lemm.ee goes down the popular comms could be migrated to other instances and maintain continuity seamlessly to users (if such a thing were possible within activity pub). Kind of like a "forwarding address" that gets disseminated to all federated instances.
I just migrated a community from Lemmy to Piefed using the migration feature, it worked quite well - Divisions by zero
Context: I tried to use the Piefed migration feature [https://piefed.social/post/667045] to migrate !barcelona@lemm.ee [/c/barcelona@lemm.ee] to !barcelona@piefed.social [/c/barcelona@piefed.social] https://piefed.social/c/barcelona [https://piefed.social/c/barcelona] now exists, with all the existing posts there, as well as the icon and description. It even moved some subscribers (there are around 100 now), from what I understand those were Piefed subscribers that got automatically moved. The one caveat is that from Lemmy instances, the community doesn’t have show old posts (see https://lemm.ee/c/barcelona@piefed.social [/c/barcelona@piefed.social] [https://lemm.ee/c/barcelona@piefed.social]), but if you were restarting a community from scratch you wouldn’t have access to your old posts anyway. This ensure that at least the posts are transferred to a community on an active instance, which is probably the main concern for lemm.ee [http://lemm.ee] communities at the moment.

Know a good guide on setting up your own instance?
I set up my instance by following the official docs: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/install_docker.html
I used podman instead of docker though.

A big thank you to all the Lemmy instance admins. We only really notice them when things go wrong. And every time something goes wrong, that means all the other admins had to perform superhuman feats so that sort of problem didn't happen to them.
I guess being repressive, removing mild comments against their views and banning was too much work.
Well deserved karma -

Nice! I should look more into piefed in general.
