Some "advertising" would be nice =)
We just got the meta description fixed, which should help "advertising" our wonderful web site elsewhere. We mentioned this on our Facebook page. The post has now received promising ~450 views but only very few likes and shares:

www.facebook.com/ipernity/posts/10155275339706771

What we really need is people sharing the awesomeness of this web site with their friends elsewhere. It does not work if only the "official ima team" tries to share few posts here and there, when our social media pages are very likely followed only by those who already know and use ipernity. We need to make the web site known also by those who does not know ipernity even exists.

I sometimes post about Ipernity on various fora and frequently post individual images and links to whole albums in other contexts. At least my images are still there, unlike ph0t0bucket, which just displays a placeholder sign.
In practice, my usual forum signature is a link to the homepage for my albums.

As told to Frans, thank you for doing all that. And I repeat also my question: Does the embedding of the code work on other web services you use? I have discovered the so called "hot linking" of images may not work on some blog services because ipernity is still mostly behind unsecured http.

The few I've personally tested (images copied as BB code) seem to work correctly. Fairly sure that if they did not, I would soon get a message that the linking had failed.

Agreed Sami, but as i said to Audry ages ago 'Facebook' users are unlikely to be interested, the same applies tousers of 'twitter'
A few could be tempted from Flickr, but they would need beating into being more social and cease using premade replies.
I do advertise on Flickr and of course I tell my friends.

Sadly true, John. But now Facebook is getting a pretty bad reputation, which could make people to considered alternatives. How I wish we could have got ipernity using https already!

Yes Sami, 'Getting* it has always been a playground for criminls. I doubt many people l.ike the average ipernity users would post photos on FB.
There is one site I know of where many 'Ex Multiply friends moved to and that is 'Wordpress', one of my contact friends here is there mainly but also uses FB for private connection to her family.

Indeed, the same was with number of My Opera people, who chose WordPress.com as their new home. I tried it as well, but at that time I was not yet ready to pay for the service, and their limit for image space was very limited on free accounts.

Here's my old WordPress account: serola.wordpress.com

Thank you, Sara. It was either WordPress.com and/or Blogger.com, which I tested few months ago, and at least then they did not allow embedding "hotlinked" images referring to Ipernity. The reason given on alert was "insecure web site".

Yes, as with most places it looks different.
I don't know if my friend pays or not to be there, she was like me a paying user on Multiply.

Maybe it would help, if every member of FB shares the link on his chronik. I did. But I think more will be showing the use inside with a link to the account in use... m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=561750224193646&id=100010760198180

All possible shares are welcome. And I know, I myself keep on forgetting to do so.

Some possibilities:

1) Share what ipernity team publish at our Facebok page.

2) Share your own ipernity photos to FB and everywhere else where you have accounts and blogs.

3) Share your images from the ipernity group area and tell about the cool group where you are a member.

4) Write a review about some cool ipernity features and share them elsewhere. Give links to those features here on ipernity if possible.

5) Openly tell that ipernity is heading to paid BUT non-commercial AND independent service. We are not quite there yet, but that is the goal. So, this costs something to use, but comes with great advantages: no advertisements, cool features, lightweight (fast) to use an view.

I followed to frontpage and scrolled down through groups. The translation of the group text I found was aweful.It's not allowed to write here, what I was thinking.
