It reduced it shortly, but the activity table is still (unecessarily) caching most of the lemmyverse for 3 months AFAIK.
Our database went from 30GB or so down to 7GB with that update, but now it is back to 30GB or so. I even did a full database vaccuum lately, but it only shaved off 2-3GB or so.
If my understanding is correct, then the activity table probably doesn't need to store more than a week or so, instead of the current 3 months. But this is something hard-coded in Lemmy and can't be easily configured.
