For anyone else who was thinking of starting an instance, local storage is still a no-go right now

S3-Compatible Storage Required Currently, Loops requires an S3-compatible filesystem (like AWS S3, MinIO, or DigitalOcean Spaces) for avatar and video storage. Support for local storage is on the way but is not yet implemented. Please ensure you have S3 credentials ready before proceeding.

To be fair, you can simply selfhost MinIO.

Cloudflare provides 10 GB of free (forever) S3 compatible storage too.

Yeah but why would I make myself dependent on Cloudflare.

Yes
