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.
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.
