I’m not sure how scalable Lemmy is, like from what I read it still has a big OLTP database per instance at some point. It’d be nice if it could be come super-cheap to run even if that means opting out of image hosting, etc. on some instances.
I didn’t necessarily think about some of the overhead that your comment brought up when I made mine. I like your idea about opting out of some features on certain instances and I think that makes sense for quite a few users/communities/instance hosters.
