Since direct attachment uploads will no longer be supported, we encourage members to use external platforms for hosting and sharing content. This helps with decentralization, reduces costs, and ensures long-term accessibility.
Below are just SOME suggestions. Note: You need to decide on if the integrity of a platform aligns with yours and if it has the level of security you desire. Do YOUR research:
📹 Video Hosting Platforms
- Vimeo – Ad-free, high-quality video hosting.
- YouTube – Easy to use and widely accessible.
- Odysee – A decentralized alternative.
- BitChute – Another censorship-resistant option.
🖼️ Image Hosting Platforms
- Flickr – Great for high-quality image storage and sharing.
- Imgur – Quick and easy image sharing.
- PostImage – No account required for basic uploads.
📝 Blog & Content Hosting
- WordPress – Start a blog and share long-form content.
- Ghost – A minimalist, privacy-focused blogging platform.
- Substack – Great for newsletter-style content.
☁️ Cloud Storage & File Sharing
- Dropbox – Secure file sharing with link access.
- Google Drive – Easy to share documents and media.
- Mega – Privacy-focused cloud storage.
- Nextcloud – A self-hosted alternative for those who want full control.
How to Share Media in the Forum
- Upload your content to one of the platforms above.
- Copy the embed link or direct URL.
- Paste it into your post—embeds will still work, and links will remain accessible.
By hosting your own media externally, you not only lighten the load on our community’s resources but also gain greater control over your own content.
