I used to use Imgur to host all of my images. Recently the app was updated so a share link no longer gives you a direct link to the image, but rather the image in an album link. You can remove part of that link and add a file extension And it still works, or you can use something else like catbox.

Before I joined Reddit I was very active on Imgur. I would still go back from time to time. But it really has gone to shit in the past few years. Ads that block content, play loud sounds, inappropriate ads.

I used Imgur for a few years and actively enjoyed the community there, but I left when they started restricting things beyond my comfort level. Even the things I saved started disappearing, which made me lose interest.

After that I went to reddit, which had less community but more content. The third party apps were also fantastic until that too was restricted.

Now I'm on Lemmy with the understanding that any instance could become more restrictive at any time, but instead of losing an entire platform I may just need to change instance or create my own. I like that a hell of a lot more.

I was an Imgur Emerald subscriber since it was first offered. At the time, I was happy to give them $$ as I enjoyed the site. I have canceled my subscription and deleted my account. It probably doesn't count for much, as I was a lurker, not a poster.

I'll miss Imgur, but I'm sure I can find a new way to waste my time. 😁

Imgurians, as the site’s users call themselves

Y'all were doomed from the start forming community around a picture hoster but aight

I didn't know if was that bad on imgur. I have used it upload images to share here but nothing else. Time to find a new image hosting site
