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.

If I follow through with this, it won't be very soon. I'm just gathering information to see whether it's worth it.

Anyway, I was thinking of keeping it only for me and a few more users, maybe (definitely not open for everyone).
