I used Imgur a lot to post pictures to reddit and since I replaced reddit with lemmy already I thought it would be nice to replace Imgur as well.

Features of Imgur that I need:

• uploading images (usually small so having size limits is not a problem)
• being able to combine different images into albums
• being able to get links to images without them being pushed for public view on the entire platform, that is only people with the full link see them (this is very useful when writing guides containing screenshots, those screenshots have no place in being published outside of the guide using them).

EDIT: I tried Pixelfed, it’s basically a blogging platform with pictures.

You can upload photos, you can create albums tho this feature is quite limited (understandable from a blogging point of view most probably), it seems you can get links without making your pictures public (tho I’m not completely sure about this, it’s not very clear) but it makes it quite difficult to manage them, especially when you have a good amount on your profile, because they are treated as blog posts instead of just pictures.

I guess it could be used to share pictures to Lemmy, but it’s not quite what I’m looking for unfortunately.
