Now, no doubt this is my own dumbarse fault, but I’m coming to find that relying on Imgur to preserve my pic-content across the mini-articles I write and share on the Lemmysphere is just… well, I mean it’s just so utterly hit-or-miss that it’s become completely unreliable, daggit.

For example, I happened to check on the Satania review I first posted ~10mos ago, and discovered that the Imgur page source had been deleted without notice, altho oddly, the lead full thumbnail / image still remains. Like, what…?!

Point is-- there seems to be utterly no rhyme nor reason for the image deletions, whether the content is uploaded via official acct or not, or is kid-safe vs NSFW stuff, or is new vs old stuff, or even via file-size issue (I think, not totally sure).

Anyway, yeah… it’s clearly past time to get the hell out.

So what would you recommend, mateys, and how reliable do you think that host is? (I’m completely cool with paying a monthly fee via PayPal in order for our content to last)

Note: the lead pic is just an anti-Imgur thing I randomly discovered, lol.

    If you’re willing to use a techy solution, I can recommend Cloudflare Pages.

    It allows you to host a basically limitless amount of files for free, with the only drawback being that each file cannot exceed 25MB.

    And I would claim that Cloudflare is about as reliable of a host as it gets.

    (You also get free domains that looking like this: JohnnyEnzyme.pages.dev)
