I know a bunch of Imurgians have gone over to https://discuit.org/
Edit: there's also https://cdn.imgpile.com/ which is more like how imgur is set up.
What’s discuit like? I have heard of it but what’s the allure besides it’s not one of the big platforms?
It's more similar to old reddit than how imgur is set up, but it's more community driven, and everyone is very friendly and quite helpful in my experience so far. I can't say much beyond that as I'm still learning more about it myself.
For something more like how imgur is, there's also https://cdn.imgpile.com/ which feels a little rough around the edges, but has potential.
