Best practices for sharing community IPFS infrastructure without spamming?

Ecosystem and Usage

Hi everyone,

I’m running a small IPFS setup mainly to gain real-world operational experience and contribute back to the ecosystem. The setup includes:

  • IPFS Kubo (public read-only gateway)

  • IPFS Kubo (private/authenticated gateway)

  • IPFS Cluster with configurable replication

The goal is to understand:

  • real storage and bandwidth costs,

  • cluster behavior with different replica counts,

  • long-term retention and pin guarantees,

  • and how developers actually use IPFS in production.

I’d like to ask the community:

  • What is the preferred way to share community IPFS infrastructure or tools without it being considered advertising?

  • Are benchmarks, open-source tools, or tutorials generally the right approach?

  • Are there ecosystem lists or directories that are recommended for infrastructure providers?

  • Any common mistakes to avoid when sharing gateways or cluster endpoints?

I’m not looking to spam or push a service — more interested in contributing useful data (benchmarks, docs, tools) and learning from real usage.

Any guidance from people who’ve done this before would be appreciated.
Thanks!
