i2p. It's sorta like Tor, but the way that every user is a node provides some advantages over Tor.
A few years ago there was a Lemmy instance on I2P
was? so it's not anymore?
Yea I think it shut down due to lack of users/interest. This was before Lemmy even had federation working, so much smaller community
Oh damn, I didn't even know lemmy didn't have federation at first
Also the user interface and builtin solutions for torrenting, hosting, address booking make it way more user friendly for people to start using I find.
so would you be able to run ipfs under i2p to have a secure and private ipfs?
Technically yes by rewriting ipfs's code, but due to ipfs's flaws you would be better off using something like freenet/hyphanet which has been designed for that purpose and has been successfully running since 2000, with the added benefit that the data is actually stored in the network by others instead of just by you (at least when you often request the data)
