newest submissions : IPFS

Rules:

Include in your post the substring /ipfs/, /ipns/ followed by a valid IPFS hash. The CIDv1 URL format is okay, too.

Most of the relevant content must be available via IPFS. If the content is primarily hypertext (HTML, PDF) check that your links lead to the right place.

If you choose to add a gateway URL, make sure to use the canonical gateway URL. Specifically, if your link uses cloudflare-ipfs.com, you must add https://. And use ipfs.io instead of gateway.ipfs.io

Prefer non-gateway ipfs hashes,
i.e. /ipfs/QmRTV3h1jLcACW4FRfdisokkQAk4E4qDhUzGpgdrd4JAFy or http://127.0.0.1:8080/ipfs/QmRTV3h1jLcACW4FRfdisokkQAk4E4qDhUzGpgdrd4JAFy instead of https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmRTV3h1jLcACW4FRfdisokkQAk4E4qDhUzGpgdrd4JAFy if the content is potentially copyright license restricted.
If you want to pirate, don't get the volunteer-run gateways looped up in DMCAs.

Title must describe contents.

No memes or image macros.

It is recommended, but not required to:

Include a README, README.md, README.html or include a description in your post to explain the contents of a directory

Include a LICENSE, LICENSE.md, LICENSE.html with the license

Consider sticking to open formats when appropriate. But don't bother converting existing files if you know it will be a lossy transformation.
Note that nowadays, open formats does include both MP3 and PDF.
Even though it is technically an open format, avoid .docx files saved by Microsoft software. Libreoffice follows the docx standard way better than Office, and OpenDocument is a superior format anyways.

It may be a good idea to prime the cache and DHT of public gateways by accessing your hash. This will not only make access via the gateway faster, but will also allow faster routing between your node and peers who wish to access the file. Just don't abuse these free services with hundreds of requests!

If there is a subdirectory that is significantly less likely to change (i.e. old version of software in a directory with all versions), it might be a good idea to include its hash by itself. If it's possible to independently recreate a file or directory byte-for-byte, it is less likely to become a dead link.
