No probs! Haven't personally tried Imgur alternatives, but here's a few to choose from

I'm wondering if Lemmy (and maybe the fediverse generally) has the potential to offer incoming Reddit mods something Reddit can't: compensation.

Obviously it won't be huge, but I feel like there's a greater chance that a Lemmy user will make at least small one-off or even regular donations to help keep their communities and/or instances running.

Like if I'm running a server, voluntarily paying $50/month as, say, the mod of a 20M+ user subreddit might, even if 20 users contribute $2.5, that's a full month's worth of server time paid for.

As I say, the scale would be quite low, but wonder if it could be an interesting idea to try out, even if just as a proof-of-concept.

Completely tangential, but Invidious is a great, self-hosted alternative front-end to YouTube. So for example, instead of the YouTube link:

Just copy the "watch?v=..." to an Invidious instance. Two of my favourite public instances as examples:

This lets you watch/share YouTube videos with zero ads, zero tracking and fast speeds :) The only drawback is you can't comment/like, but it's a fairly small one IMHO. Have a good one!
