Thanks i think this is a great idea.

Since this problem I think is quite common (at least from reading a few threads and comments around) it might be interesting to create a guide especially regarding the part of having lemmy use this/mounted volume instead of the default one.

I in the meantime will try to look around for some information on how this can be done, any advice is definitely welcome.

Thanks!

Thank you for your answer!

Since I currently use Hetzner the only way to get more space is to upgrade the server (at a not inconsiderable cost).

The alternative might be to purchase SSD block storage volumes which are definitely lower priced (5€ per month for 100GB) however it would be interesting to know if there is a guide for Lemmy for this or if others have had positive experience doing this.
