    As someone who used to self-host a Pixelfed instance (RIP), use it with caution. While it has a bunch of great ideas that I’ve praised, it is also buggy as hell.

      How quickly did it burn disk space? I occasionally have to resize my Lemmy VM for the Postgres database, but I’m still on the free tier for object storage after like 1.5 years of running this. I would imagine a photo sharing site would crunch through disk a lot quicker though.

        Thankfully, mine was a solo instance. That being said, the disk space was never an issue even when I was federated because remote images failed to load.

          Haha, plot twist! That doesn’t sound very useful.

      What bugs have you encountered lately? I’ve been playing around with it (only a couple of days now) and it’s overall been very smooth experience for me.

        Arguably the biggest selling point never worked: both remote and local images not loading.

    Can anyone recommend a good server for this? I’m looking for one that’s federated with everything else.

      https://pixelfed.org/servers/26/gram.social is run by Stux of mstdn.social so it will have a high degree of federation with everyone else.

    I just did this but I think it’s heavily bugged. All the pics are imported, but only the description works. The image itself is blank
