Hi all, is there a service that lets you share photos with others that is at least a little privacy-respecting? Think something like Imgur, but more open and less privacy invasive.

I'm not looking for something like Pixelfed (which is great if you want an Fediverse Instagram alternative!), nor am I looking for something like Immich (photo backup that I already self-host on my local network!), I'm looking for a public service where I can upload images that can be shared via a URL.

Ideally, I should have some amount of organisation (at the very least the creation of albums), have support for larger files produced by my mirrorless camera (nothing crazy, images are 6000x4000px and are usually several MBs each), and not hosted in the U.S., China, or similar

Self-hosted suggestions are okay too, but public services are ideal

I use Nextcloud for easy photo and document sharing. It has a gallery thumbnail display too. And a choice of privacy levels. I use a free, hosted Nextcloud, as I don't have a server.
