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?

Yeah I think so, but I have no idea how "trust" works in IPFS.

In torrents, you have to explicitly be seeding that torrent: if you don't want to seed the file(s), you remove the torrent. With IPFS I think people can just throw whatever in there.
