Also, how about a secondary hosting platform. Right now it’s centralizing to Nostr.build. Shouldn’t they also be uploaded to another service? Can the alternate url be added to the NIP-94 metadata after it’s been uploaded?
Are we going to make new nip-50 search extensions to make searching for nip-94 gifs easier? Something like include:gif which only returns kind 1063 events with mime type gif would be awesome.
nostr:npub1xdtducdnjerex88gkg2qk2atsdlqsyxqaag4h05jmcpyspqt30wscmntxy would it be possible for you to perform matching on the alt and summary tags when processing kind 1063 search requests for the nostr.band relay? I think you’re currently only matching on the content field.
Time to build some nostr native gif search libraries 🚀 nostr:note1emq4xryqlrfjq90gqda5x3fewglm0stzw3x4usmesc7va57dyelqk79ywj

There’s a bunch of nip-96 platforms like nostr.build, so they definitely can be uploaded to other services. https://github.com/aljazceru/awesome-nostr#nip-96-file-storage-servers
The nip-94 events are immutable. I think relays will eventually end up deleting events with dead links.
You could upload to several servers first and then publish the nip94 event with several urls.
