    Yeah, but Lemmy instances don’t split bandwidth P2P. Imagine hosting a video on some cheap cloud instance that doesn’t have any kind of traffic sharing and putting some brand new game trailer up like Diablo 4, then someone links your video copy on something like Reddit. You’d get obliterated if all the video traffic was just coming from your server.
