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!
lemm.ee has uploads limited to like 100kb so people can use avatars but effectively the admin wants 0 image hosting. Idk what to use outside of imgur, was hoping this thread would have alternates but I don't see anything outside of pixelfed, which doesn't support anonymous easy upload.
I use https://postimages.org/
It is very reliable and supports uploading images upto 24 mb in size and 10k x 10k pixels.
Thanks for the tip, that looks like a good alternative
No problem! You can also check out https://imgbb.com/, https://imgbox.com/ and https://www.imagebam.com/
