If it's just a private instance, your storage needs will be way less. We use object storage, so it's actually pretty cheap (like $5-10 a month iirc). We're not storing that all on the server disk.

    I've been considering a private instance myself so that's good to know.

    If you're federating with everything by default, would that not also federate all the images and take up space that way? Or are images always just referenced from their origin instance?
