Which gateway name to use when linking an IPFS website from a non-IPFS one?

Help

This is a little subjective post.

Is there a de-facto standard for linking IPFS websites?
Should I use gateway.ipfs.io, ipfs.io, or 127.0.0.1:8080 on my site when linking IPFS content? Or something else?

You should be using 127.0.0.1:8080 probably as the idea is to have it super decentralised… but you could use a gateway (check the list: Curated list of IPFS gateways ) and then hope that the client implement a plugin that rewrites IPFS addresses to localhost.

I prefer 127.0.0.1:8080, or even better: your very own gateway :slight_smile:

Currently browser extensions redirect anything that has path starting with /ipfs to local gateway, so you can use any working one.
I’m using personal gateway which hosts only my content in links.
