14 years here and did the same. Deleted it all. And have not been back on reddit since jul 1. Im pretty happy with lemmy so far. And yea it feels like old reddit. Time will tell

Can you share notes/collab yet?

Look at vacumn command. Also dbeaver is a teally good gui tool. Right now there is one table thats the main cause (i think its called activity but dont quote me on that there was a post about it)

That table is mainly for debugging as it logs every action in activitypub your instance does. I truncate it once a week and vacumn it (shrinks the disk space used). Caution. You must shut down lemmy before doing so. I run containers so i stop all except postgres and clean it up.

This is where i am leaning too

If you are already a subscriber it stays at 14.99. Its a glitch. You’re grandfathered to existing cost

But. If you are a new subscriber then yea you’re screwed.

Its a very narrow view. And imho very wrong. There is no engagement on a blog post.

A forum or subreddit offers more than a blog post. I have friends still from the bbs days. Ive known 2 couples that met on reddit and are married. Cant do that with a blog post and comments
