  • From my understanding a instance will only interact with posts and comments (store them) when a user on that instance does. So just federating with a older instance that has a large back catalogue does not mean it will flood the small instance.

    Side note about images. They seem to only ever be saved locally on the server it was uploaded to. So custom emojis like link will not be saved on for example lemmy.ml (here). Only on my self hosted instance. Perhaps if a post is really popular and I link a self hosted image like that, it might put strain on my host to deliver this image though. Worst case just my small instance will go down and the link will be stale.

    Side-side note: I might want to make all emojis smaller so that they both fit in the text better and put less strain on my host.
