    I’ll be honest, I’m probably just going to do a scheduled wipe of the pictrs directory of my local instance every week or whatever. I’ve done them manually a few times and they’ve had zero affect on my experience.

      If your local instance is just you, and you never post on your local instance, you could likely just wipe the local images nightly without any issue. Unless I am mistaken, any missing images would simply be downloaded again, since they all originated from another instance.

        Yep, just me. That not a bad idea. Even I post something would other instances reference mine or would it matter once it’s synced?

          Actually that’s a good question, I’m not familiar enough with how lemmy works to be 100% certain. My initial assumption is that you’re pushing your info to another instance, and it’s never actually hosted on your own apart from the fact that it’s federated, and you’re viewing it.
