As the question states. I have the skiils and know how to setup a new instsnce and from looking through the documentation its relatively straight forward. Im just wondering would it actually help the fediverse and lemmy as a whole? There seems to already be plenty of instances to choose from. What are your guys thoughts?

Tested deleting the pictrs/files/001 which was at that point at ~150mb. And yes, it broke stuff. For example my Avatar and a local test community logo. To "purge" it, something would need to compare it to the database i guess. My size probably comes from /c/memes 😅
I thought remote images aren't cached localy 🤔

I think it might just be thumbnails that are cached locally? And obviously your own banner and local images

Looks like random? Both images are from meme@lemmy.ml didn't post on any of these 2 threads. It would be nice to know why sometimes its get copied. https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/b2e8d1e4-b638-4d04-9710-9fa28756261d.jpeg?format=webp https://lemmy.gwa.app/pictrs/image/962b1734-d524-468c-b3f9-4d615f91f094.png?format=webp

The interesting thing is, both posts originated from .world and when opened from the original sources are also hosted the.
