    I assume this is a larger theme across the Fediverse?

    Could you expand on what causes the massive bandwidth needs? I’m have a vague idea but I’d be very curious to know.

      If a user of an instance subscribes to content from another instance, their home instance is pulling, storing and sharing that content. With more and more instances, more time will be spent on sharing that content.
