How much space is currently used by Lemmy.ml database? I'm thinking of hosting my own instance and wondering what parameters are needed.

Without checking, its probably under, 100 MB. The main thing that matters for disk usage are image uploads, which can take a lot of space over time.

edit: I just responded to this comment but now I noticed this is 3 years old lol how did this post show up on Hot? integer underflow?

seems to be happening on programming.dev but not lemmy.ml maybe before programming.dev only has it at 1 score instead of 12?

A suggestion, I would suggest limiting image uploads to 5 MB. Even the utmost largest images can be easily compressed to under that, and be readable and without much artifacts.
