Quite a bit of space could be saved with database compression. The database side of things has lower hanging fruit right now though.
Images are not federated, they only live on the hosting instance.
Thumbnails might copied though, I'm not sure.
There is some discussion. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2947
I am still fairly confident that it shouldn't be storing images, but I'll admit my pict-rs directory is growing quite fast compared to the database. Have to keep a close eye on this.
I'm not convinced either one of us knows what the software is SUPPOSED to do, and I am pretty sure nobody knows what it's actually doing. Here's another thread: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3163
Does the image get stores on the poster's instance or the instance hosting the community they're posting to?
The poster's.
