oh btw 3rd party apps aren’t working with 0.19.0 yet, because of changes to the authentication API

Well now you can use :0.19.0-rc.5 :)

it’s in alpha currently, but you could still run it

I think you might have to use the :dev tag to get this update, a bit risky to stay on that tag though, maybe wait for the next docker image of an alpha release

in v0.19.0 Lemmy will automatically delete entries over 7 days old

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/commit/cb01427dcff14b3d88e30220695fc97978786a9a

currently it waits 3 months before deleting

yes you’re right, also that config flag was renamed to cache_external_link_previews

in v0.19.0 you could try disabling pictrs caching https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/commit/1d23df37d86cc5cb6d7d9efaaf4360ecc9a9796f

    cache_external_link_previews: false

I don’t think that will clear the existing cache though

I setup Gogs once like 6 years ago or something lol, I remember it being pretty easy and it is nice. Although if Gitea is more actively maintained then it’s probably worth giving that a shot first.

Many years ago I ran my own Gogs and it was pretty good, would recommend

work in progress

This is really great, it’s basically the same effect as what OP is doing when browsing c/All on a large instance, except you can do it on a small instance and without using an insane amount of system resources on your server
