A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

You can upload an image when creating a post by clicking on the small thumbnail icon at the bottom right of the file input
you can also copy and image and paste it straight into the text box, it will upload and embed the image:
This is straight from greenshot.
https://vgy.me/ has been pretty reliable for me
They delete your photos if they're unaccessed by the uploader after a year unfortunately. Ask me how I found out :(
Oh
IPFS

I've not looked into it fully but there is that pixelfed which is a part of the fediverse, don't know how it works for public images and whatnot though since it touts itself as a secure platform where you can choose who can see your stuff kind of deal
I found this because I was testing out nostr and suddenly had loli.net in the firewall logs: https://sm.ms/
I like it because it gives you markdown you can paste into lemmy :D
I've been using my Onedrive storage that comes with my Office subscription. It's not ideal but at least I have some control over how longer the link is available.
Since you're asking for an imgur alternative, I assume that you're looking for something free. My suggestion might not be what you're looking for.
I use vgy.me, it doesn't support video uploads but it does have markdown in the image page
edit: switched to catbox because i learned that vgy autoremoves after a year

I'm not sure about the longevity but a lot of people use discord as CDN apparently. There's even an API for that.
