Yep. Add in a 3rd instance and now you have 3 copies of the database, essentially. It's just that each instance is responsible about telling the fediverse when updates occur to communities on their instance.
-
If the fediverse gets really big, lets say the size of reddit, it may be hard for all the different instances to store all that data on their servers
-
Ya, ActivityPub isn't without it's issues... but luckily it's all just text. Much of that can be compressed significantly.
-
I wonder what the total data storage size is for all the publicly viewable content on reddit. I find it hard to even guess lol. 100TB? 10,000TB?
-
The compressed archive of reddit from 2005.5 until 2022 is 2 TB: https://academictorrents.com/details/7c0645c94321311bb05bd879ddee4d0eba08aaee
Uncompressed it is likely way larger though.

Thanks. Wonder how much it would be uncompressed but I guess that doesnt matter as you can probably compress it on your fediverse instance until it is required to be accessed by a user
