Just started self hosting this instance. Nothing on the docs mentioned anything about storage considerations.

      I disagree. One big hunk of value of a place like this is being able to look back at old threads. How many times did people say they always put “Reddit” in front of their Google searches to get the information they were looking for? This could be the same.

        That’s a good reason for an instance to put “lemmy” in its url too, I imagine. Search engines are already returning Lemmy results for things.

          It’s really not, at least for the text part. Text posts and comments take almost nothing and storage continues to get cheaper.

          Mainstream platforms are selling out because they’ve always had others and shareholders who ultimately want to make money.

      Info is still useful for people doing google searches. It would be nice to be able to find common troubleshooting tips on Lemmy, etc.
