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?

How would federated posts look if the original server went down? Just a 404 not found on the picture and the discussion left intact?

This seems to be the case right now, yes.
