Hosting a PieFed instance - Image storage (sub.wetshaving.social)

Hello everyone,

I'm keen on starting a PieFed instance to maybe replace our Lemmy instance one day. One thing I wasn't able to figure out was the various ways to store images. With Lemmy, images and thumbnails take up a large portion of whatever storage you have, so using Object Storage (like Cloudflair R2, Backblaze B2, Amazon S3) is the way to go to save money.

Is that possible with PieFed yet?

Thanks.

Ah, right under my nose. Thanks! This inspires me to take another look when I have some time.
