  • Imgur links suck
  • atomicpoet atomicpoet Now 100%

    As someone who manages multiple Fediverse servers, I wanted to share a friendly perspective on image uploads. If the option to upload images is available on a server, it's likely because the administrator wants you to utilize that feature. Otherwise, they would simply disable it to avoid incurring additional costs for hosting image files. So go ahead and feel free to make use of image uploads when they're available!

  • Imgur links suck
  • atomicpoet atomicpoet Now 100%

    I've had the chance to join several big servers and even manage my own (calckey.social). Usually, they set an upload size limit of around 10-15MB, which is more than sufficient for most photos.

    However, I must say that I'm not a big fan of Imgur. It's not the best experience for visitors and feels like a prime example of something being unnecessarily unpleasant. I believe people mainly use Imgur out of habit, and the drawbacks haven't been significant enough to overcome that familiarity just yet.

  • Most Fediverse software supports image uploads, so there's no reason to use Imgur for image hosting. Hell, even on my small single-user server (atomicpoet.org), image hosting is easy peasy. Not only is Imgur not needed, they're an annoyance for those of us who are used to seeing images natively on the Fediverse. I know habits are hard to break, but just remember: this isn't Reddit 🙂

    I'm a big booster of the Fediverse, but I had continued to moderate r/Sizz, a community I founded back in 2017. I had been contributing there at least 12x per day, and zealously moderating it. I've always liked Reddit because it let me share stuff I love on my own terms. But now that's changing.

    I've long pondered migrating r/Sizz to the Fediverse, and I might have to do that.
