A useful information for all future self-hosting people is the space taken by the database/media.
As you can see on the screenshot taken from polyglot.city the media take a huge space, more than anything else.
Hosting on raspberryPi is nice, but I doubt the 32G SD will be sufficient, unless littleFedi has another way of treating media (like not copying the media locally but referencing them or something).
By the way and talking about raspberries, there is a filesystem available under Linux which was created specially to extend the life of your SD card: f2fs (see here: http://whitehorseplanet.org/gate/topics/documentation/public/howto_ext4_to_f2fs_root_partition_raspi.html )
And of course, if you can avoid SD altogether and boot on something else, all the better.
All recent RP support it, if yours is old you just need to reflash the firmware. The only RP I have which does not support it is a RP2 with a firmware < 1.2 (and no possibility to upgrade).

Maybe one solution could be to convert locally safed media (pics) to .avif, which is remarkably smaller in file size than .jpg, .png or .webp?

Not sure, if that would make sense?

@fasnix @francois this would require much computational power
