For some reason on my self hosted lemmy instance, I've managed to accumulate about 50GB worth of data inside my pictrs docker volume. I'm the only person on my instance and I've never uploaded any photos to my server other than my profile photo, profile banner, and site logo. Shouldn't all photos be hosted on other instances?

If it is not safe to simply delete the folders within the _data folder, how would I go about clearing out these files without it harming my server? Thanks in advance, as you can probably tell, I'm definitely new to self hosting my own social services. Thank you!

Hello world!

Was wondering if there was a way to edit the CSS/HTML of my lemmy instance. It's my own personal instance, so I'd love to add links that would help me get around easier and really make my instance my own.

I have access to the entire server, and I know a fair bit about navigating debian and editing files and all that. I'm still a bit of a noob though and do not know where the header/footer/css/files are stored on my live instance.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Seems like time and time again, Nintendo is always trying to sell games to an audience of people who do not wish to play video games. For a sequel, I figured Nintendo should focus on their core audience of Pikmin fans but it seems like they're always changing things to appeal to people who don't play games while in return alienating the people who want more sophisticated gameplay and challenges.

What are your thoughts?
