I stood up a Yunohost and installed Mastodon a few months back. I had issues with storage and exponential growth as a result of federating with other instances.

It was just too much work keeping the storage at a minimal level for a single user instance, so I ditched it.

Is there anything like that I need to consider before I try my hand at Lemmy?

    I’m not alone.

    Compute was never an issue. I had my instance hosted on Hetzner and it ran just fine.

    My concern is the storage, as described above, constantly checking disk space, cronjobs, purging etc etc

    And whether I host a single user or a multi user instance is neither here or there. My question still stands.

      I never had to check disk space, cron jobs or do any purging.

      Where did you run you Mastodon Instance. I run mine at Digitial Ocean, been running for nearly a year and have not encountered any issues and I’m running on the cheapest server they have.
