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 💙

    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.
