Most Fediverse software supports image uploads, so there’s no reason to use Imgur for image hosting. Hell, even on my small single-user server (atomicpoet.org), image hosting is easy peasy. Not only is Imgur not needed, they’re an annoyance for those of us who are used to seeing images natively on the Fediverse.
I know habits are hard to break, but just remember: this isn’t Reddit 🙂
What do you suggest when uploading a photo when commenting through an app? Most apps I have tried in the past including the one I’m on right now just upload to Imgur and paste a link in for you.
What is your suggestion for mobile users then?
use a web browser…even on your phone…
No? That defeats the whole purpose of not wanting to use the browser app(s) on my phone.
That’s like saying “just browse Reddit on your safari browser on your phone forehead and you won’t have to worry about Apollo shutting down or any other 3rd party app”
Such short-sightedness.
Not wanting to use the browser is its own purpose? Of course I understand if you want to use a specialized app that offers more features, better usability, nicer layouts than the original websites of the services they are for. But using a specialized app just because it’s not the browser (which, by the way, it often really is anyway), why that?
Thers’s plenty of other good reasons not to use non-free closed source “SaaS” like reddit.
then again, if your phone has “safari browser” you probably are unable to be reasoned with anyway.
