The creator of Newgrounds has considered adding ActivityPub support to join the fediverse but is worried it would make their hosting fees untenable by “serving files to millions of people on third party apps“. Can anyone with more knowledge on how this works help them?

Having Newgrounds on the Fediverse would be incredible. Newgrounds has a huge art community, many features not available on any platform and has been around the longest (1999)

hasnt this already been solved with cdns? even if you just use it for the image hosting.
Those cost money too
shit costs money. cant imagine wanting to stand up a server/instance/whatevs with no hosting costs.
Not no hosting cost, but cost for things you don’t want or need. I would host a server if it only filled up with things on my direct server and not pulling images and posts from other servers
