only pictures and posts that the instance-member are subscribed to, and from the moment they interacted with it. But yes, I'm curious to see where this goes.
I noticed it when I was looking in the database and disk on my instance, where there are already thousands of posts and more then a thousand images - while my own instance only has a couple of posts and images
But it still means if a single user on a small instance is subscribed to a massive media instance, they alone will generate tons of traffic and storage requirement... Seems really weird
Thats the way the decentralized fediverse works (I think!) let me know if I’m wrong
