What are people using instead of Imgur now for image hosting?
In an effort to try and be mindful of storage usage on instances I'm posting to, I'd prefer to host images externally and link to them.
Now that Imgur has turned into.. whatever it is now, anyone have any good recommendations for simple, quick image hosts?

Can someone explain what’s going on here? Hosting an image to Imgur and hyperlinking the Imgur link is not good for lemmy server storage?
I’ll fix my behavior asap. Just no clue
Or is it mostly the fact that pixel and the rest are decentralized
I’ve seen a lot of issues with Imgur links, Imgur also tries their hardest to not provide you with a direct image link, instead preferring you link to the Imgur page which is not ideal.
Just looking for a simple drag and drop image host that will give me a plain image URL. No frills needed.
Using lemmys image hosting is not good for server storage. OP doesn't want to use imgur for a different reason i'm unaware of
Imgur has gotten really obnoxious to use, since they're trying to turn it into a standalone social media platform.
I think part of the issue with imgur is they decided to remove all their nsfw media to go public so all reddit posts linked to them were going to get broken.
