Most Fediverse software supports image uploads, so there’s no reason to use Imgur for image hosting. Hell, even on my small single-user server (atomicpoet.org), image hosting is easy peasy. Not only is Imgur not needed, they’re an annoyance for those of us who are used to seeing images natively on the Fediverse.

I know habits are hard to break, but just remember: this isn’t Reddit 🙂

    Oh yeah. But I click a button like that and my image is uploaded to the instance (KBin)

    PS. Can’t see that image as Imgur blocks my VPN.

      Yeah so as one person mentioned some instances limit the size of the photos that can be uploaded, which is why an image hosting site can be necessary.

      Yeah I heard Imgur blocks VPNs now. That would explain some things…
