Hello, I am the founder of /r/RimWorldporn. We would like to move away from Reddit and are looking for a good alternative. We are kind of like /r/earthporn, so we require hosting of large images. We've been around for about 4 1/2 years and have accumulated roughly 30GB of images. The main advantage of Reddit is that it hosts relatively high quality images, for free. Would kbin be a suitable platform for this? We could host our own instance, maybe even centralize image storing on it.

Hello.

I host kbin.chat(Kbin instance) and endlesstalk.org(lemmy instance), where you would be welcome, if you wanted to.

The lemmy instance have a lot more storage, when I move the picture storage to correct server, but I will probably also move the kbin instance to a new setup, where there would also be more storage space.

Maybe not the place to ask. But you seem knowledgeable. Is kbin a Lemmy instance or a different platform that can federated? I could Google of course, but I like talking to humans.

kbin is another platform federated with lemmy and other platform from the fediverse. not the same project than lemmy.

@ernest can you spare 30Gb for these guys? @TheVillageGuy S3 is working I think?

[-] TheVillageGuy@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Sorry, what does S3 mean?

[-] TheGreenGolem@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

AWS Simple Storage Service. I assume it's used as the storage solution under the hood.

[-] Sam_uk@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

@TheGreenGolem Yeah the Amazon format you can use on Amazon servers, or not other providers like Wasabi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_S3 it's a cheap fast way of storing images.
