Using flickr in as digital gallery in 2024?

[livingdeadgrrl]

So im on tumblr and from there ive been interested in 'web finds' and finding cool images posted by people around the 2000s-2010s before mainstream social media sites especially Flickr. Im already using tumblr as an online diary/main social media site but i also have a ton of images that i wanna archive and keep in a cloud but not necessarily want to post on tumblr or pinterest. So ive been thinking of using flickr as another photo gallery of images that i wanna keep online but not post on my tumblr account.

How about you guys? do you guys keep an online photo gallery that u use and if so what is it and how has it been?

Then I would not be able to view any of those really; because I use a dated version of non-mainstream browser, and with JavaScript disabled on top of that. Same goes for Imgur and Tumblr these days.

Anyway, I have an online visual art gallery somewhere under pseudonym, which is a static website I coded everything by hand (HTML 4.01, CSS 2.x) hosted on a "Unix club" somewhere (1); it looked really decent, worked very well, loaded very fast (2), and very accessible to any browser under the sun. The downside is as usual of something maintained by hand: posting new artwork is a nontrivial chore; but otherwise, it have been mostly fit and forget.

But for photographic gallery however, I don't have a real photo gallery on the web so far. But what I have is a project-specific pseudo-Instagram, which is hand-crafted from Atom feed. I don't think this is a kind of thing you would think of when speaking of web photo gallery, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to throw some unconventional inspirations around anyway.


(1) Tech-savvy tinkerers would call that "pubnix" (public-access Unix system).

(2) Artworks were migrated from a big-name online art platform that uses a lot of global CDNs; and this new site loaded faster than that, despite it being on a single pizzabox server sitting on the opposite side of the planet from me.

I have a gallery with my low-res photos on our website; I used Melon's Gallery Maker at the beginning, but eventually replaced it with a short php script that is tailored to my needs and thus easier to maintain.

I'm a bit annoyed by tumblr and especially instagram: Personally, I wouldn't use them for my own stuff anyway, but from time to time I would like to check out the art of people who do so. So, I had to create an account for tumblr, as they don't let you check out images without registration. And things are worse with instagram: My fake account that I created to check out the photographs of a friend was banned after ~10 minutes (probably because I used a VPN, one of my trash-mails, and a fakename) - I won't give them my real data, so I'm pretty much excluded from viewing the art of anyone who uses it.

@xwindows this.fucking.rocks :D - both the content and the technical realization.
The sodium night shots are great, just abo'ed the feed!

There is an alternative front end for Tumblr, called (Gothub link) Priviblur that allows viewing blogs without Javascript. Here is one instance. If a blog is specifically set to display only to logged in users, it won't work however.

oh yeah, i didnt even consider the option of just making a gallery on my own website lol. I'm considering that as well.
