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.

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

Sorry, what does S3 mean?

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

@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.
