The main cause for the steady rise in disk usage that I'm seeing is the activities
table, which contains the full JSON of all ActivityPub messages seen by the instance. It appears Lemmy automatically removes entries older than 6 months though.

Just keep an eye on the GitHub page if you want to stay updated at all times. Other than that just check up on your storage use from time to time. You can also set up a job to restart the server every once in a while but that's not really necessary.
UPDATE:
If anyone else is running into consistently rising disk I am pretty sure this is my issue (RE logs running with no cap):
Trying out ^ and will update with my findings if it helps.
