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

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?

If funhole is gone forever I'll lose my mind

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.

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

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

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

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

thank you for sharing concerned comment content

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.

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

Like the server itself going down fairly regularly. #ongoingtrainwreck

i’ve been using this https://lemmy.world/post/559690

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.

I sure hope they do. I love Anarchist Nexus, they're great (especially with the recent lemmy.world controversy 🏴😆🖕 ), but I do miss the hell out of SDF.

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.

It would be nice to at least get another update.
