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.

You can just use fediverse (eg. kbin) to upload your image directly, without any of those instances?

    Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. The individual hosts of the Fediverse are limited on space, and jamming that limited space full of images, rather than using an external image hosting service, is worse for the sustainability of these spaces

    In addition, help out your instance admins by resizing the image if you don't need it in high resolution.

    Uploading a 250Kb file rather than a 2.5MB one makes a difference when thousands of users are doing it.
