This is something I have seen a lot of, too.
But this is a trade-off —
Have a large set of other people's content to browse, but (potential) use up a lot of drive-space.
Or, save your drive-space, but not have other people's content to browse.
The challenge is that if you store other people's content indiscriminately from the broader Fediverse — it can be A LOT of data and take up A LOT of drive-space.
