There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

Depends on the browser. I know brave has support for direct ipfs links. There may be others. Chrome & Firefox do not iirc. It looks like you'll need to use a ipfs gateway. I'm on my phone, so I don't have any gateway links handy. Search for ipfs gateway on your favorite search engine. Paste your link there, you should be good to go. I think you can browse vain the ipfs desktop app, if that's an option, but its been a long time since I looked at it, so i could be wrong there.
Thanks ๐. So I found public gateways here :

and I tested 7 out of 15.
All going to nowhere ๐คจ !
Host your own client?
Having said that, IPFS is heavily abused by malware groups, so you may find a lot of related software is blocked.
