If your local instance is just you, and you never post on your local instance, you could likely just wipe the local images nightly without any issue. Unless I am mistaken, any missing images would simply be downloaded again, since they all originated from another instance.

Yep, just me. That not a bad idea. Even I post something would other instances reference mine or would it matter once it’s synced?

Actually that’s a good question, I’m not familiar enough with how lemmy works to be 100% certain. My initial assumption is that you’re pushing your info to another instance, and it’s never actually hosted on your own apart from the fact that it’s federated, and you’re viewing it.
