As a user, I don't want to share my downloaded images if people can use that to datamine my Lemmy browsing, so I wouldn't use it.
Yes, instances could do the bulk of the sharing, but then that's just downloading and rehosting images with extra steps.
Something like Veilid would be more interesting.
Veilid wasn't released yet when I wrote that comment. It's definitely interesting.
I agree that IPFS is rather suboptimal for social media and self hosted stuff. The current main use case, being a place to store the data attached to NFTs accessed almost exclusively through public gateways, works fine though.
