for the longest time a lot of images posted to reddit were really posted on imgur (until they started hosting it on their own, too). is there a fediverse'd imgur we should be using to complement lemmy? its docs say it shouldn't be used for large images and videos.

pixelfed seems more like a federated flickr or instagram, not just simple image/album hosting like imgur. thoughts? ty 💙

Well, an imgur alternative does not need to be federated, if it's to be used to only host large content. Imgur does not have any real social features, as far as I understand, either.

So any simple image/video hosting tool should do. I mean, you could also just use imgur!

Imgur does have comments and votes. They tried to make it an actual community... It didn't work, for the most part.

There was (is?) a subreddit about random imgur comments who didn't understand that people used it just as a hosting website to share images with other communities, notably reddit. I think it was lost on imgur or something? Haven't been there in a while and can't find it. I can find "Ignorant imgur" but it's so inactive, I don't think that is it.
