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.

With latency of ~5s to retrieve the content requested source I don't think it is feasible to make good UX on lemmy to view images. It coud be possible to do for short form video.

If it was integrated into lemmy itself and every instance now was using ipfs wouldn't latency go down?

I think 5s was latency for protocol itself. Someone would need to make some experiments and show that it is a feasible approach to deliver images fast enough.
