My lemmy instance seems to be using a lot of storage, I am the only one using it and for like 10 minutes a day. it’s currently using about 122 gb, after about 3 months of usage

 ~/l/volumes> sudo du -d 1 -h  .
47G	./pictrs
75G	./postgres
0	./lemmy-ui
122G	.

seeing the usage of other ppl this seems really big? Am i doing someting wrong? edit: it is also using a lot of memory, i dont know exactly how much but it seems to be most of my system’s available ram (16 gb)

      yes, mostly. This tool basically instructs your lemmy instance to try and fetch the entire Lemmyverse and mirror it on your server.
