A few questions about a single user instance (nauvis.niami.net)

I first used lemmy on lemmy.world but due to its size I had several issues of things just not loading and needing a full page refresh. So I tried to set up my own instance and it works mostly but the federation aspect is leaving me with a few questions.

Will remote communities only sync new posts from when I subscribed or will past posts show up eventually?

Is having a single user instance realistic or should I try find another small instance?

Looks great, but would this take up a lot of storage? I'm currently running my instance on an oracle free tier micro instance and the storage is 47GB.

So far, not really. Only a few gigs so far, but it’s hard to predict how big it could get.

By the way, Oracle free tier has 200GB of storage for ARM64 systems.
