That sounds like a good idea. Do you know of any documentation for this? I'd like to give it a try.

Thank you, that SQL command looks like exactly what I'm after! I'm going to give that a shot. I appreciate the help!

I've had a Lemmy instance running on a VPS with 100 GB of storage for a few months and it has filled up. I've been searching for ways to reduce the amount of storage used but so far I am coming up empty. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for the tips! That sounds like a great approach. I'll give it a shot.

I have Mastodon running on a VPS running Debian 11. Now I would like to add a Lemmy instance on the same server. I tried using the from scratch method from Lemmy documentation, but ran into errors that likely stemmed from minor version incompatibilities of the dependencies. I tried using the Lemmy easy deploy script but it wants to bind all traffic on port 443 for Lemmy which would break my Mastodon install. Has anyone managed to get Lemmy and Mastodon running on the same box, and if so, can you share any details of your setup?

Mastodon.fdr8.us is now live. Lemmy.fdr8.us coming soon!

I'm attempting to get a Lemmy server running on Debian 11 using this documentation:

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/from_scratch.html

The following command fails as a result of some minor version incompatibilities: cargo install lemmy_server --target-dir /usr/bin/ --locked --features embed-pictrs

Removing --locked seems to work, but it fails compiling later in the process with the following output: Compiling diesel-async v0.1.1 error[E0405]: cannot find trait RowGatWorkaround in module diesel::row --> /root/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/diesel-async-0.1.1/src/pg/row.rs:16:23 | 16 | impl<'a> diesel::row::RowGatWorkaround<'a, diesel::pg::Pg> for PgRow { | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ not found in diesel::row

For more information about this error, try rustc --explain E0405. error: could not compile diesel-async (lib) due to 2 previous errors error: failed to compile lemmy_server v0.17.4, intermediate artifacts can be found at /usr/bin/

Does anyone know how I can remedy this?

Thanks for the feedback! After days of thinking about it and checking availability it was the best I had come up with so I just went for it. Those urls should work soon if all goes according to plan.

[-] TrinityTek@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

And yes, definitely watch those renewal costs. There are some domains that look like a great deal right now with the introductory deals, like .host, but be ready to pay $85 per year at renewal time!

[-] TrinityTek@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That has been my approach so far but I think it's getting pretty picked through. :)

[-] TrinityTek@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

What do you think of fdr8.us? Then I could do some subdomains off of it like lemmy.fdr8.us and mastodon.fdr8.us.

[-] TrinityTek@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'm thinking general instance, but I don't want a bunch of right wing or religious stuff so I will have some ground rules.

[-] TrinityTek@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

They're more expensive, but check out ODroid H3+. Very low power consumption and great options for storage with pcie m.2 and on board SATA, and RAM slots.

[-] TrinityTek@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I like it but it's taken. I could grab lemmy.co.in. lemmy.in is way better though.

As the title says, I'm ready to fire up a Lemmy server of my own. I have a suitable VPS running Debian 11. I think I can probably make short work of it once I get past this one difficult point. What should I call my Lemmy server? With catchy names out there like "Lemmy.World" and "sh.itjust.works", I really want to come up with something good. Unfortunately after thinking it over for three days now and checking tons of names for availability, I don't feel any closer to deciding on a name. It doesn't help that almost all the dictionary words are sold at premium rates these days, even with a fairly obscure tld. Any name suggestions or techniques for choosing a good name would be appreciated. It probably sounds silly but this part just isn't my strong suit and I'm frustrated that it's holding up the project.

I've only ever used Lemmy from a phone, and mostly using Jerboa as well.
