Just started self hosting this instance. Nothing on the docs mentioned anything about storage considerations.

    I think as long as the original community the post is in doesn’t purge the data, it’s fine for other instances to purge if necessary.

      Exactly, when dealing with big data, you need a strategy to archive old data. You can’t just store everything in one DB. Smaller instances may not feel like keeping all the date from all the time. Even big instances should have a mechanism to move old data do different databases.
