   Tl;dr: Mitra is at the point I could comfortably run it for my main instance, and I would recommend people run it over Pleromer or its forks. It runs better, it's not a pain in the arse to set up and maintain, DB doesn't eat up 500 quintillion terabytes of data for a single user instance (unless you do something retarded), updates are frequent and add features that are actually needed. It's pretty swell.

     @tadano @mint Announce activity data shouldn't eat up much space (it's probably negligible in comparison to media).

     You can calculate your database size using the following SQL query:

     SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_database_size('mitra'));

     On my 3 y.o. server it shows 273 MB.

     @mint I believe it does considering the solution I used was making a read-only account (https://codeberg.org/silverpill/mitra/src/branch/main/docs/relays.md) and following a bunch of relays.

     Does it save the Announce activity together with an actual announced post from relay, like Pleroma does? If so, you might try deleting those announces from DB, shouldn't impact anything.

     That could be done by overriding CSS

     One way to do that is to add CSS variables to a file with an agreed upon name like theme.css located in web_client_theme_dir. Frontend will try to load this stylesheet and if it is present it will replace default values

     @tadano @mint This is how it works already, relays only send Announce activities to your server. However, when such activity is received, your server loads a lot of additional data including announced posts, profiles of their authors (+avatar and banner images), other posts in threads, quoted posts and media attached to all those posts.
     I think the best way to deal with this is data retention settings. You probably don't read 99% of that content, so it can be safely deleted after N days (this number is controlled by retention.extraneous_posts config parameter). In theory a more fine grained control can be provided. For example server can delete posts from people you follow after N days, but delete posts announced by relays after M days where M is a smaller number than N.

     @silverpill @mint I'm getting ~1.6GB. In any case I recall the media folder was the one that blew up like crazy while I had relaystalker active. Is there a way to only fetch announces from relays?

     @silverpill @tadano How about an option to disable remote media caching by default and just hotlinking remote media directly? Pleroma does that by default.

     @mint @tadano Something like this should be implemented, yes. Does Pleroma download media in background when you view a post for the first time?

     @tadano In Mitra 3.4.0 you can customize appearance by putting assets/custom.css file into your web_client_theme_dir directory

     For example, to change background image on the login page:

     :root { --landing-background-image: url("/assets/login.png"); }

     @tadano That was fixed in 3.3.0, could you confirm (in the issue thread)?

     Addendum III: Being able to have multiple pictures without them being fully rendered and needing to scroll down a long post to see them would be cool (see: how pleromer has a little box with thumbnails for the pics that you click on)
