Thank you, I'll check it out
I use this one most of the time
They mention in their FAQ that they are outright blocked by ISPs in some countries, which is unfortunate.
Self-hosted is best, but I also use imgbox.com or vgy.me
Self hosted is the only the sustainable solution.
Imgur used to be great, and then it got popular and sold out, got overrun by ads and cludgy UI that makes it annoying to upload or view images from certain platforms. Now there really is no 'good' image site, only what you're willing to put up with.
i still use imgur. I don't upload via the webui but have a context menu entry in my file explorer (dolphin). That uploads them without my account and immediately gives me the direct .jpg link.
So viewing them is not hindered by any ads.
Can you tell more about it?
I still use Flickr, but bear in mind that a free account can have a maximum of 1000 images. Its taken me about 7 years to hit the limit so I just delete older ones as I add new ones in.
I thought about getting Pro to share albums with friends but it's really annoying it's not possible to save single images from mobile web.
imgbb?
Thanks I'll check it out
After photobucket crapped the bed and broke hundreds of my links I decided to roll my own.
So I have a little corner of my website where I can upload pics. There's a dinky shell script to generate indices, thumbnails, pasteable links for BB, reddit, markdown, etc. If this one blows up it's my fault.
That's really cool. Are they photos from a camera's sd card? Or do you pop them over from your phone?
Maybe outside the scope of this post, but has there been any discussion on integrating IPFS as an image hosting solution within the fediverse?
It would be cool to have a fediverse image hosting platform. I know pixelfed exists, but that's not really the same thing as imgur.
I've noticed that when you make an image post with an external image, the instance will just save the image and won't load the external image directly. This is a good thing for privacy and security but it also means that it doesn't matter where you upload your images. Images uploaded directly to Lemmy are loaded directly from the other instance though.
I'm still happy with Flickr.
