My Lemmy instance has reached 100% storage so I can no longer use it. Is there a safe way I can clear cache or make some more space available without upgrading the disk space? I set up the instance with the ansible script many months ago and migrating to object storage seems to be a decent amount of work I don’t have to commit to currently.

I tried searching on the admin wiki (https://wiki.lemmyadmin.site) but I couldn’t find anything

I can’t switch to Object Storage just yet because I’m worried that since I have 0 space left there will be issues when trying to migrate so I need to make some space available and then make the switch to Object Storage

    im running ubuntu on a vps. I can get a shell running. I don’t see where in that thread it mentions how to clear the tables?

    I set up Lemmy using the Ansible setup so it is in docker

    I have backups automatically running every week.

      I believe you want to look at the activity table. I don’t have an instance, but the linked thread mentions it.
