I like the IPFS technology as an idea, I can pin my files I guess, but I don't know any communities or services that I wanna use that leverage IPFS.

I was wondering what y'all are using.

I think IPFS alternatives to the services below would improve their reliability, I would use them right now if they exist.

IPFS alternative to archive.org and web.archive.org (Wayback machine)
IPFS alternative to torrent trackers for pirated media, such as nyaa.si. The file transfers are decentralized but the content index (tracker) itself is centralized. Which is a pretty critical flaw, recently made apparent with RARBG's takedown.

Interplanetary Wayback uses IPFS to store web page archives, although the index of those pages stays on the instance. Seems to be actively developed by a professional team.
