Imgur links suck (kbin.social)

Most Fediverse software supports image uploads, so there's no reason to use Imgur for image hosting. Hell, even on my small single-user server (atomicpoet.org), image hosting is easy peasy. Not only is Imgur not needed, they're an annoyance for those of us who are used to seeing images natively on the Fediverse.

I know habits are hard to break, but just remember: this isn't Reddit ๐Ÿ™‚

lemm.ee has uploads limited to like 100kb so people can use avatars but effectively the admin wants 0 image hosting. Idk what to use outside of imgur, was hoping this thread would have alternates but I don't see anything outside of pixelfed, which doesn't support anonymous easy upload.

I use https://postimages.org/

It is very reliable and supports uploading images upto 24 mb in size and 10k x 10k pixels.

Thanks for the tip, that looks like a good alternative
