IPFS support in Mitra is rudimentary, it can save an ActivityPub representation of a post to IPFS but not much else.
During my experiments I found that IPFS node consumes too much resources and started to look for a more lightweight solution. Many ActivityPub servers already work as media caches, so in theory we can just use CIDs without the p2p network.
