The fediverse doesn't federate videos and images though, they just share the link. Only the instance that got posted on would store the content while other instances would link to that image.
That doesn't seem to be true just from looking at some of the posts on here. Sometimes it's a link to the home instances image and sometimes it's a duplicate on like Lemmy World's server.
I edited my message just in case but it does seem to go either way on linking to another server or making it's own cached copy. The documentation on how Lemmy's implementation of federation works is like two lines in the official docs which is a bit annoying.
