There was some talk of this issue in the recent fediverse inefficiencies thread. I'm hopeful that in the future we'll have a decentralized solution for file hosting but for now I deeply believe that users should pay for their own file hosting.

Pict-rs that is used by Lemmy to store images already supports S3 type storage, so in theory it should work with Jortage, but I don't think anybody has tested that yet. The people behind Feddit.org might have experimented with it as they expressed interest a while back.
