Exactly. I did a dumb thing and ran a script to subscribe to the top 50 Lemmy subs from all instances and it skyrocket from 15gb or so to way too much.
Haha. I had my own Lemmy server until 2 days ago but the database got to 40GB and I realised that if I wanted to keep it going I would have to pay $60/month for a dedicated server and even then in a year it would get worse. Considering it was just for me I went back to public servers.
The funny part is I used the domain I purchased which was Lemmy.fail
Haha! How is the db size going? It seems to grow really fast.

It lived up to expectations.
The danger factor is how much the pizzas cost. Hopefully they do a cheap weekday special if they are crazy expensive.
Lemmy is great! Oh no, Lemmy.world is down again, I’ll just use my Aussie.zone account and I can post here. Way better than reddit outages.
Just out of interest, how big is the current db in GB? If it’s only text I would assume it would take a long time to get to 100+GB.
