    yeah it’s ridiculous. It takes up an order of magnitude more space than any other website in desktop Firefox as well. It looks like it’s mostly in cache storage “instance-cache” and “precache-v2” probably created by the web CacheStorage API.

    I wonder if it’s just that the lemmy web frontend uses more modern web APIs that most sites don’t use, and the caching is just dynamic based on available space or something? Probably not even configured by lemmy.

    I think it’s part of the whole “unused space is wasted space” way of thinking about computers. It just uses as much space as it can until it can’t anymore. It doesn’t take into account that people may not want to thrash their storage device, and may want to download and install things that take up lots of space. At which point all the caches that every program maintains become a burden because there is no real automatic cleaning of old cached data.

      I always hated that “unused ram is wasted ram” as a justification for heavy bloated software. Like I bought this ram to run more than 1 application at a time, what is this? Windows 3.1?

      Unused ram is space for me the user to choose to put more processes into
