Lemmy Pict-rs storage requirements? (lemmy.ml)

I might take over one of these one-year-free hosted Lemmy instances on my server infrastructure, but I read several times now that Lemmy's image hosting system Pict-rs is using a lot of storage quickly.

The server I could run this on is limited to 32gb ssd storage with no easy way to expand it.

Is there some way to limit the image storage use and automatically prune old images that are not user or community icons or such?

We would be very interested in a better method for limitation on this as well - some kind of age and size limits or automatic pruning would be wonderful.
