If I were to create my own instance federated with all the other instances, as of today, how much data would I be storing, since I would make a copy of all the content?

I know this will vary a lot, but I’m looking for a ballpark figure to have an idea. I don’t think it would be a lot, but I can’t find an estimate anywhere.

    One thing to note is that pictrs supports hosting your images on in object storage (e.g. AWS S3 or Backblaze B2). That can save a ton of money on storage costs. 1TB of images on B2 only costs $5/month.
