I mainly use imgur to upload screenshots using sharex, would appreciate being pointed in the direction of any alternative.
You can upload an image when creating a post by clicking on the small thumbnail icon at the bottom right of the file input
Some instances/servers are currently not capable of uploads larger than ~100kb, so a good image CDN is desired.
I also feel like lots of people uploading images directly to an instance’s servers put a lot more strain on them - especially at a time where most servers are experiencing serious growing pains and may not really have the funds to keep expanding their storage. They’re not ad supported like places like Reddit are.
I think it would be courteous of us to try and spread it out a bit and use services specifically intended for and set up for image hosting.
I’ve not looked into it fully but there is that pixelfed which is a part of the fediverse, don’t know how it works for public images and whatnot though since it touts itself as a secure platform where you can choose who can see your stuff kind of deal
pixelfed might work for you.
https://vgy.me/ has been pretty reliable for me
They delete your photos if they’re unaccessed by the uploader after a year unfortunately. Ask me how I found out :(
Oh
