If the fediverse gets very big, won't your instance need a lot of bandwidth and storage to sync all the content?

It's requirements will grow, but it's still mostly text and some images. Mastodon is kind of big (not twitter big but bigger and more active than lemmy) and there are people still self hosting their instance and there's lots of donation supported instances.

I think fediverse being instance-oriented should scalate well. As no instance really needs to hold the whole thing by its own.
