Things should be hosted on IPFS

That way it really emulates true reddit performance!

Might just as well use GNUTella

Or go back to Napster where if the person you were leaching off for the past 4 hours get a phone call and the whole download is broken for 80% of that song

I think the same. I wonder if lemmy (and other fediverse applications) will one day support ipfs. It would also be cool if cloud storage providers started to support the protocol so you could make your cloud storage (some of it or all) into an ipfs node.

There's an experimental reddit alternative called plebbit that uses ipfs so people are exploring it

Isn't ipfs in alpha right now?
