Reddit Migration@kbin.social – 227 points – 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.

30GB isn't that much that data, so you could probably host it on a kbin or Lemmy instance. It will however cost money, where as Reddit does it for no fee. So, your community would have to chip in to host the VPS/Dedictated server to host your community with. The other way is to join another instance that has enough of an interest and capacity to host it for you, like kbin.social but it will also mean you give up the control of hosting and the rules that apply. You could also look for image hosters that allow for nsfw and have a stable reputation, might be better than trusting an instance to work out with your images.
Not sure if you made the nsfw reference because you thought of the other “rim world” or not but I found it funny.
I think they misunderstood the "porn" in the sub name.
Or that :D
It's a happy space colony simulator. It just happens that yayo, organs, and child labor is profitable.
My colonists beg to differ. There is nothing happy about their lifestyle.
