I've had a Lemmy instance running on a VPS with 100 GB of storage for a few months and it has filled up. I've been searching for ways to reduce the amount of storage used but so far I am coming up empty. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I've had a Lemmy instance running at lemmy.fdr8.us for a few days now. I read that federating is enabled by default but it can take some time, but so far the only instance I appear to be federated with is Lemmy.ml. What can I do to get my instance federated with other Lemmy instances?

I have Mastodon running on a VPS running Debian 11. Now I would like to add a Lemmy instance on the same server. I tried using the from scratch method from Lemmy documentation, but ran into errors that likely stemmed from minor version incompatibilities of the dependencies. I tried using the Lemmy easy deploy script but it wants to bind all traffic on port 443 for Lemmy which would break my Mastodon install. Has anyone managed to get Lemmy and Mastodon running on the same box, and if so, can you share any details of your setup?

I'm attempting to get a Lemmy server running on Debian 11 using this documentation:

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/from_scratch.html

The following command fails as a result of some minor version incompatibilities: cargo install lemmy_server --target-dir /usr/bin/ --locked --features embed-pictrs

Removing --locked seems to work, but it fails compiling later in the process with the following output: Compiling diesel-async v0.1.1 error[E0405]: cannot find trait RowGatWorkaround in module diesel::row --> /root/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/diesel-async-0.1.1/src/pg/row.rs:16:23 | 16 | impl<'a> diesel::row::RowGatWorkaround<'a, diesel::pg::Pg> for PgRow { | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ not found in diesel::row

For more information about this error, try rustc --explain E0405. error: could not compile diesel-async (lib) due to 2 previous errors error: failed to compile lemmy_server v0.17.4, intermediate artifacts can be found at /usr/bin/

Does anyone know how I can remedy this?

As the title says, I'm ready to fire up a Lemmy server of my own. I have a suitable VPS running Debian 11. I think I can probably make short work of it once I get past this one difficult point. What should I call my Lemmy server? With catchy names out there like "Lemmy.World" and "sh.itjust.works", I really want to come up with something good. Unfortunately after thinking it over for three days now and checking tons of names for availability, I don't feel any closer to deciding on a name. It doesn't help that almost all the dictionary words are sold at premium rates these days, even with a fairly obscure tld. Any name suggestions or techniques for choosing a good name would be appreciated. It probably sounds silly but this part just isn't my strong suit and I'm frustrated that it's holding up the project.

This sub paid a lot of lip service to the protest and participated in the blackout, but they removed my post promoting Lemmy and the liberal gun owners group here. Ain't that some shit?

Edit - I've been informed in the comments that the mod message may have been misleading and my post might have actually been removed by Reddit admins. I certainly hope that is true and if so the mods there are not deserving of my misdirected anger.

What's up, all! First post here on Liberal Gun Owners of Lemmy. I thought I'd share my most recent addition. I've wanted one of these for a while but they were pretty scarce for the last couple years. When I saw the 5.56 back in stock I jumped on. I love that it takes AR mags and 5.56 ammo. It's not my most practical purchase but I'm happy to own it.

Greetings, all! I'm new to Lemmy and to this community, but hoping there might be some here with opinions to offer on whether Solarwinds Patch Manager is worth the price or if I should just continue to make due with plain WSUS. Initially I found WSUS to be unreliable and a general pain in the ass, but after some tinkering I actually have it running pretty well now so I'm not as sure that I need Patch Manager.

Anyway, I'm happy to be here on Lemmy with you all and look forward to participating in this community. Cheers!
