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.

If it's all images, PixelFed might be a better fit?

If they're a subreddit it's more about the conversations the images prompt.

Does Pixelfed not have comments? Admittedly I haven't used it.

Even if it does, the difference is in whether the emphasis is on the comments (like here) or the images (like insta). And in this case, these are HQ renders of (ideally) HQ gameplay; the main point is a space to engage with the player/creator about the design, methods, mods used, story of how the game went, etc.

Oh, I understand now. Thanks!
