I've dealt with my share of disk expansions and failures, and it's never taken 3 weeks.

I sure hope they do. I love Anarchist Nexus, they're great (especially with the recent lemmy.world controversy ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ–•Pi$$rael ), but I do miss the hell out of SDF.

If funhole is gone forever I'll lose my mind

I just made a place to post content while we wait:

!funhole_waiting_room@piefed.social

I never really got the humor there, lol, but I'm lamenting the loss of 80s TV because I had a lot of good Golden Girls posts since I'm finally watching it for the first time.

thank you for sharing concerned comment content

If disk space is a problem, why don't more instances delete old stuff? 99% of what's posted doesn't need to be archived forever.

Knowing for certain that stuff is gonna get deleted is a good way to get me to never use your service.

[โ€“] rimu@piefed.social 1 points 3 days ago

Never deleting anything is how you end up like lemmy.sdf.org which effectively deletes everything.

Use services with sensible storage management functionality of you want to avoid your stuff being deleted.

[โ€“] IcedRaktajino@startrek.website 12 points 3 days ago (2 children)

My (limited) understanding is that there's no straightforward way to do that at least in Lemmy.

[โ€“] Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com 11 points 3 days ago

But I think PieFed has the option

Also Lemmy does have options for how to handle remote images, and that can help keep disk space down a lot

[โ€“] Blaze@piefed.zip 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Based on the past record of issues on their Lemmy instance, I wouldn't count on it

You mean the images going down fairly regularly?

It's usually been the whole server going down for a day or two. It's been weeks now. If it's done, it's done, no worries, but I really wanna get back on SDF.

Like the server itself going down fairly regularly. #ongoingtrainwreck

I hope so, I miss the funhole. I'll send them a hard drive if they need it lol
