Update: we're live @rimworldporn

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.

kbin.pub

After alternative S3 hosters are implemented I would be very open to something like this on my instance. But I don't know when that will happen. Right now I am paying for far too fast SSD storage that is just too expensive for this.
