Lemmy often racks up hundreds of gigabytes in logs and other crap, chokes up the hard drive, and then force restarts the server. Not fun for something you use to stream media from. Takes quite some tuning to get it sorted.
If we are talking about two virtual machines on the same physical server with dedicated storage allocation, that shouldn't matter.
It's true, it logs a huge amount of stuff due to federation chatter. If you run it with docker, be sure to setup log rotation. I think the recommended lemmy ansible installation set the rotation to 50MB x 4 files. Or just
/dev/nullit.
