Imgur now blocks several VPNs and have issues loading embedded previews in several fediverse platforms. So instead of using imgur, you could use one of the following alternatives for uploading your images.

    I feel like that's a different use case?

    I post things to Imgur so I could reference them in posts on other platforms. I don't want the images tied together.

    Pixelfed is an Instagram variant

    I feel like using this for the sake of posting pictures to Lemmy would just clog up Pixelfed instances with things not even meant for them. Pixelfed is a community, not really an "image host", even though it technically has that capacity,.

    Upvoted for the Fediverse and FOSS features, but if you're looking for a simple FOSS image hosting service devoid of any social features then also look up for any Lutim instance

    Some working instance (there are less and less for service being free and focussed on hosting images makes it a cost hard to sustain for any volunteer individual or association)
