Would running a Lemmy/kbin instance on your phone be feasible? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Libp2p or similar stack could be used to provide the phone instance an address, caching could be distributed among peers. Of course, as long as other servers also support libp2p.

What would be the up/downsides?

IIRC Lemmy uses a massive amount of storage

My instance is currently at 19GB after running for about 3 months.

Most people don't come here to see archival stuff, so it wouldn't be so bad if the p2p network cached ephemerally (time limit or a size limit). Old content could still be reached on servers designed to cache old stuff.
