What would be a good alternative to Imgur?
Catbox is a good one.
Or you could host something yourself, that way you got control over your own data.
Definitely consider self-hosting for file sharing, because public file sharing sites without restrictive file size and auto-delete limits get abused and shut down constantly. 0x0.st (mentioned in another comment in this thread) used to host files indefinitely but switched to a temporary system because of abuse, so anyone who used it as their file host will now have a mass of broken links. Unfortunately, none of the self-hostable file sharing options with thumbnail previews that I’m aware of support image albums which was the most useful feature of Imgur.
PixelFed is a great option if you don’t need anonymous hosting.
I built https://horizon.pics as a privacy friendly alternative to Imgur. It has no ads or third party trackers and allows optional server side encryption. It’s compatible with ShareX, Apple Shortcuts and GNOME with our custom client.
Can you post some example links so I can see what photos and videos look like through the service before I shell out my $5?
We have a bunch of screen shots in our tutorial articles here: https://docs.hrzn.cool/en/pics.
No offense but your site does a bad job explaining what this is or how it works. I find a lot of times I come across an intriguing product but there’s almost zero info about the product itself until after I register (which I’m not doing) so I just walk away.
I’ve done this on Floatplane a dozen times now. I still have no idea what it is or how it works.
Maybe make a demo video and upload it on the main page?
Do read the fine print on the page. Images will only last between 30 and 365 days on 0x0.st.
