New To The Fediverse And Confused?
Jumping into the fediverse can feel confusing at first. Unlike traditional social media, the fediverse is decentralized, with multiple servers working together, which brings opportunities but also challenges. Empty timelines, weird search results, choosing a server, finding friends and understanding the difference between a private post and a direct messages. Let me get you up to speed on the things that threw me off when I first hit the Fediverse.Graze Extension which makes remote interactions work

in reply to FediHost Video • • •thanks for this tutorial. Yep ran a relay on a couple of new servers that I set up and ouch that was painful to see how quickly the resources got consumed.
Realized the issue, deleted the relay but not sure I really cleared out the excess storage entirely. I would like some advice on how to fix this. It is still a fairly new server (has about a dozen of users currently) but we are planning to open it up in the future and I don’t want to carry the excess storage forward if possible.
