I’ve read that uploading all your images/gifs/videos to lemmy will cause big server costs down the line.
I wanted to do my part in keeping the costs low so which site or app or whatever do people recommend to upload your media to for linking in posts? I’ve tried imgur and I’m not really a fan

not the best, can have connection issues. But I like it
I’ve been using catbox.moe and imgbox.com. Both can be interacted with anonymously via API and never take down uploads
After photobucket <spit> crapped the bed and broke hundreds of my links I decided to roll my own.
So I have a little corner of my website where I can upload pics. There’s a dinky shell script to generate indices, thumbnails, pasteable links for BB, reddit, markdown, etc. If this one blows up it’s my fault.
That’s really cool. Are they photos from a camera’s sd card? Or do you pop them over from your phone?
Imgur used to be great, and then it got popular and sold out, got overrun by ads and cludgy UI that makes it annoying to upload or view images from certain platforms. Now there really is no ‘good’ image site, only what you’re willing to put up with.
