Tailscale has funnels, you could check them to see if they can forward the traffic to your instance.
I don’t know exactly how it’ll work since the funnel has a specific URL provided by tailscale, so I don’t know if a cname or something like that could work for a custom domain to your lemmy instance

AFAIK only text is copied, media stays in the instance where the community is hosted.

I’m running it in the smallest VPS of vultr with 25GB of disk.
This instance only has 3 users, with me being the only active. It says it’s been up for almost a month and I’ve only used 3GB.

Here are the docker volumes which have the actual data of your instance, and from inside the DB the biggest table is the one called activity which the devs said it’s only sometimes used to validate the data, but could be truncated if needed (there’s a schedule task which only keeps up to 6 months).
Also the thing to have in mind is to properly configure the logs of whichever installation guide you follow.
After that I’ve seen other admins say the next biggest is the media uploaded (from bigger instances).

Ah! I didn’t know exactly what was being used for.
Yeah, then it can only be trimmed, not truncated.

Haha, I don’t know xP.
Just checked and it has only one image.

I’ve been using Amaze, it’s nice, although I use it sparingly.

Yes, depends on the software, the post is about lemmy so I was talking about lemmy

I don’t fully understand the “right to be forgotten”.
I mean, it’s very useful when you want to make sure a corporation which profits from your data doesn’t want to delete that data, but from the perspective of forums like in here I struggle to understand the need of people to delete everything at some point.

The only result I see from this is useful knowledge being lost.
Imagine if I make a useful post which people come from time to time to solve their issue. People would probably link to beehaw not my instance, since I posted in this community. After a couple of years I no longer can maintain my instance and goes down, then my useful post has a silent self-destruct, people won’t know this and keep linking it and eventually it’ll end up like with a lot of forums:
“The solution is in this link”
“Thanks, that solved my issue”
But now link is dead and the solution gone.

With how lemmy works now then people will still be able to find the content even if the instance where it originated from dies.
I see this as a very useful feature to preserve knowledge.

If you don’t want something to be forever in the internet then don’t post it, as you said, the wayback machine exists, so even then you’re acknowledging the GDPR request you made to the instance was useless, you still need to go to any archiver there is to be sure your data has been properly deleted.

Just remember to not use your main account if you need to use one, since Aurora store breaks the ToS and they’ve actually banned some people.

Well, that’s already in place as a feature of the fediverse !toronto@lemmy.ca
