I've been wondering about these questions for a while now but the docs were scarce.
1. Does loading an image (cache/thumbnail) from external hosting takes up any server storage? If so, is it cleaned up when original image deleted?
1. Do (internally hosted) "orphan" images (not linked to any post/comments) get deleted?
1. Any recommendations for image hosting? Preferably freemium+donation based, open source, able to keep spinning until end of times -- all that jazz
1. In relation to creating posts on lemmiverse: any hints for streamlined workflow uploading images to external hosting? (bookmarklets, scripts, custom frontends)
1. Are there any promising Lemmy initiatives for optimizing storage usage?
Got any questions of your own about image hosting? Let's hear it

Ex findasubreddit, but on lemmy. So instead of posting to like r/findasubreddit, one posts to c/findasubreddit and uses that to find a subreddit.
Since, imo, esp for niche topics, the lemmyverse isn't big enough to stand on it's own. But the lemmyverse could still reduce the number of posts to say reddit.
Prob possible to use it for like other platforms, like follow for follow instagram hashtags.
When Beehaw was first launched our disk usage (physical space on the server) was approximately 45%.
Right now we are up to 72% and this will continue to climb over time.
At the moment, I can only see two options. Firstly, go up an additional tier with our server host which would increase the monthly hosting cost.
Secondly, figure out a way to remove old and inactive posts. Hopefully, there is a batch process for this or something similar. I'm not an expert in this area, sadly.
What are your thoughts?
Fiction, non horror.
Young adult stuff could be fine, but no like books aimed at like folks younger than that.
Preferably not like detailed violence or detailed sex scenes.
For movies I generally like dramas, but i dont consume books so I don't know what kind of books I'd like.
When one is the subject of love bombing it is really hard to "feel" the downsides of it
It's very easy to go down the path of logic and keep telling myself typical rational mantras, but this doesn't exactly help on the emotional level
We all seek love and, however unhelpful, love bombing does provide it. Which puts me in a weird conundrum -- why shouldn't I accept love when I clearly need it
Do you have any tips or stories how you've let go of love bombing addiction?

My profile is [here](https://masto.ai/@remington). I, mainly, set this up to see how Mastodon interacts with the rest of the Fediverse including Lemmy.
So far, I'm impressed with the simplicity and functionality of Mastodon.
offline normie population = only online to post selfies and food shots on instagram/bigtech
Like sheer fact that I'm ok with trans ppl being trans people is sorta extremism in my city.
Until now Mastodon has done marvelously well but I'm kind of worried how long it can continue do so. The influx of people from the bird side is far from over or so it seems.

Hey y'all! Apologies for the late post, my life has been busy which I will elaborate on in my post below. This post is your chance to showcase anything you made from the month of October! Feel free to title your project, tell us about your creative process, or anything else.
