    The best tip I can give you, one that actually has an impact is, if a system sucks, don’t be afraid to set up your own system.

    I used to put all photos I wanted to share on DeviantArt, but that site has just got slower and overall worse the last decade.

    Back in the spring of 2023 I had just got a new camera was getting more and more annoyed at dA for how slow it was.

    So I decided to do it myself, I use digiKam as a photo organizer, it can create decent HTML galleries, so I use those and just built a nice HTML/CSS index page, and pop it all on a private webhost.

    It is blazingly fast, I can use arrow key navigation in the galleries and it is just a fantastic experience.

    And since I only really wanted a place to share my photos with friends and family it is enough for me.

    I won’t link it here as it contains my name.
