Lemmy and Piefed instances do not have set limits for storage. Someone can upload their digital work in the webp image format to compress their image down to kbs. I don't think any admin is going to be upset towards og artists. Also there could be a cooperative where artists can donate a portion of their income from donations and commissions to help fund their preferred instance's storage costs. This concept already works with Cosocial. it might be necessary for Peertube, Loops and Pixelfed instances to function as cooperatives for creative folks to be viable. The fediverse instances do not have the advantage yet to bulk buy storage space like companies do. The devs are working on embedding third-party services more to work more seamlessly within the frontends and apps. Tesseract automatically compresses images to webp by default.

Videos can be posted from Peertube. The thumbnails can be used creatively there for the image in the lemmy/piefed feeds.
