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.

Can one set up their instance to delete posts amd associated media after x number of days?
You would have to run raw database commands to clear followed communities’ posts. It would be possible with some experimenting. The only local media associated with non-local communities is generated thumbnails so those would have to identified and purged from pict-rs.
