Admins: What's your optimization strategy?

Attached: 1 image I figured this would happen. In just over 48 hours, I’ve already exceeded my Media Storage limit on my masto.host “Moon” plan. I’m going to see if I can purge the cache more frequently. Otherwise, I’m going to have to upgrade. #mastodon #fediverse #hosting

I set up a personal instance using https://masto.host. It's a small operation that I believe is run by one person. Hugo has been great about responding to my questions.

My instance has only been up for about 3 days and I've exceeded my Media Storage limit twice. The first time, I upgraded to the "Planet" plan which has the added bonus of being more responsive.

This time, I've tried setting my Media Retention Period to 3 days and am hoping that's sufficient.

Do you have any other optimization tips to share? Unfortunately (but also, fortunately), it's a managed service, so I'm limited to only what is available in the Mastodon web interface.
