@fd0 I have a small script that produces some stats, so I can tell you something about this:

As of 8 October 2026, littleOne has 53 registered users and stores about 1.71 million posts and boosts, including 4.983 local ones.

The application’s data totals approximately 6.25 GiB, but around 2 GiB is remote media cache (set in lazy mode): images, videos and other media from federated instances, cached on demand with a configured 72-hour lifetime and a 2 GiB limit.

Excluding that shared cache, the remaining application data occupies about 4.30 GiB, averaging 83 MiB per registered user. With ZFS compression, those files occupy approximately 2.56 GiB of allocated disk blocks, or 50 MiB per user.

Users’ own uploads, thumbnails, avatars, headers and blogs average just 4.36 MiB per account, with a median of 1.18 MiB. That figure excludes the database, which also stores shared federated posts, profiles and interactions.

These measurements exclude backups, filesystem snapshots and the operating system.
