    I have a broad question. Forgive me if it’s dumb as I am not super technically savvy.

    Is there a way to put a massive set of common image memes into a pool we can pick from and just have something point to that image? I keep reading that storage space is quickly going to be an issue for instances, and that seems like a good way to reduce some data.

      IPFS would be perfect for this. Each instance would pin the image, and your instance would be a “gateway”, helping to distribute media when its requested. IPFS assigns a CID to every file so the same meme posted twice would have the same CID.
