How much storage is used on average for a Lemmy instance? (lemmy.world)

If I were to create my own instance federated with all the other instances, as of today, how much data would I be storing, since I would make a copy of all the content?

I know this will vary a lot, but I’m looking for a ballpark figure to have an idea. I don’t think it would be a lot, but I can’t find an estimate anywhere.

For this reason, I assume it should be feasible to self-host an instance that sync with most communities.

For reference, Wikipedia (en) takes up just over 20 GB (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Size_of_Wikipedia), so I assume much less than that for Lemmy (with the current userbase).
