Will databases grow huge on all instances if we get a hugh amount of extra users that create tons of content? I mean, if lemmy.world explodes, will all small instances need to follow?
I don’t want to know how large the database of, let’s say Reddit, actually is.
Or am I getting this fediverse thingy wrong again?
Too bad! There's an archive project (from r/DataHoarder) working now to grab what can be grabbed. So far its up to 3.01PB.

But that's including media, right?
I suspect so. The complete reddit archive from PushShift (text only up to March 2023) is about 2TB.
Thank goodness for people like this. I can point this out to my wife the next time she questions the new hard drives and show her how completely reasonable I am compared to some.
