All participating instances have a bot that subscribes to participating communities from the other instances. This makes it so a community is federated over to all participating instances.

Example: You create !ask_kemmy@lemmy.com and around 70 bots from other instances then subscribe to it. Now users on those 70 other instances sees the community and subscribes themselves. The bots see this and they unsubscribe because their work is done.

I mean, I don't know how much of an issue bots are going to be. There hasn't really been any issues on indie-ver.se, but I will definitely keep this in mind. Thanks!

Well. You probably want some pictures. For a site icon, for your pfp etc. which necessitates setting up the image server. You can quite easily stop your server from caching external images, as I’ve just done, so only your local images are stored. I don’t know about disallowing user uploaded images entirely. Maybe you can set an upload limit of 0 or smth?

I just set up our S3 image storage, which costs us 6.27€ pr. TB. (with Hetzner)

Actually, how do you backup your images? I am bit unsure of what to do here, since the objects aren't really managed by me.

Yup. This is my thought process exactly. One gigabyte, for 20 days of being properly online, is not much. My cost is around 6€ pr. month pr. terabyte (pretty nice), but I have no idea how my usage will grow.
