Update: we're live @rimworldporn

Hello, I am the founder of /r/RimWorldporn. We would like to move away from Reddit and are looking for a good alternative. We are kind of like /r/earthporn, so we require hosting of large images. We've been around for about 4 1/2 years and have accumulated roughly 30GB of images. The main advantage of Reddit is that it hosts relatively high quality images, for free. Would kbin be a suitable platform for this? We could host our own instance, maybe even centralize image storing on it.

If you are asking if the kbin.social instance/server can handle your existing content and future content, you will have to talk to the admin.
If you are asking if the Kbin software can handle your content, sure, the software is only a software. Your data will rely on the capabilities of your hosting provider.
If you are asking if there are Kbin instances that can handle your content, you will have to contact them individually and find a way to struck some deal.

You can check this list of the different servers/instances using the Kbin software --> https://fedidb.org/software/Kbin

Or, you can host it on your own: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core

So, trying to understand, what would happen if a user from another instance, that doesn't support, wants to look at mine, will they be redirected?

They would be able to see, so long as your instance remains federated with theirs. Donations are volunteer only.

By support, do you mean an instance not having the storage space to host your images? The content itself is only hosted on the instance you upload it to, so even if someone from a different instance that doesn't have the space to store your content visits your magazine, they'll still see everything just fine.
