Wow I just found another benefit of self hosting fedi. I always thought my old instance was pretty good at caching media but it always took a while to load.

I follow some jp artists on misskey who renote/repost other artists, and that media took a while to show up on my old server. I'm on Hollo now, and even the reposted stuff shows up pretty quickly!

At least my ~25gb cache is doing something 😅
