I just noticed that my pictrs image volume reached 20 GBs in size. Does Lemmy or pictrs not delete the cached images automatically after some time?

    Pictures you (or your users. if any) uploaded yourself should be gone, though.

    I’ve turned off proxying myself and purged what I could find from pictrs and it’s still taking up way more storage than it should. And it’s a messy black box where I have no idea what’s really going on. Another reason why I want to switch to Piefed.

      Yep. They did go away. I just uploaded them back again. Mine is a single user instance and I don’t upload much, so it wasn’t a big problem.

      I hope the Lemmy devs implement this in v1.0.0 because this is pretty annoying.
