Its is commonly done with S3 compatible storage, and projects like Garage allow to do so in a distributed way.
Neither Bittorrent or IPFS seem particularly well suited for this.

Really? Does this mean that different instances could share a bucket? Do they have to trust each other?

Garage has deduplication of all files, yes. Obviously if you host something on server not under your control you have to have a certain trust in them. Generally speaking Garage seems to be a good replacement for Minio, but I don’t have any direct tips for migrating.
There was also a project for Mastodon to sit between it and any S3 storage that would allow sharing and deduplicating files between instances, but I can’t find it right now and forgot the name. But it seemed stuck in a rewrite and not actively developed outside of that.
