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.

Self-hosting will give you the most control, and 30GB really isn't all that much data in the grand scheme of things. I haven't done much research into it yet, but I've also seen PixelFed listed as an option for image sharing on the fediverse.

Pushing that much data out to hundreds of other instances might be a pain point though.
