Imgur was originally designed as an image server for Reddit. They actually share front pages (or used to, I haven’t been in a while)

    I remember that post from MrGrimm. It went something like "there are no good image hosts for reddit, so I made one".

    When they added user accounts a few years later to spin it off into its own thing, I was among the first to create one. Managed to snag the username [REDACTED] before anyone else could. Never actually used the account until last June, when all the 3rd party app drama started on reddit. Now I equally split my time between here and Imgur to replace reddit: I go to imgur for the memes, and Lemmy for the news. Don't even miss reddit.
