I looked at ipfs.pics, but they say you should now use IPFS Companion instead. There's also this that I left out due to limits:īecause someone is going to mention it anyway: try something crazy like IPFS.
#Sharex reddit free
When it is impossible to directly share images I tend to still use Imgur, because it's free and fast. Discourse, GitLab and other forum software) allow inline image uploading.
So Reddit images on Reddit, GitHub images on GitHub, etc. What I tend to do recently is to share images on the platform itself whenever possible. Also there is still the tendency Microsoft is Bad, so GitHub bad. But sadly the platform is mostly used for development. GitHub - Image hosting is really good and fast. Reddit - Seems decent, but when you are using old Reddit, sometimes the galleries will malfunction or only load on new Reddit for some bizarre reason. Twitter - Really good when you have a direct link, but more often than not I hit a 'Register Now wall' If you have better alternatives, or really any alternatives that work in 2022, please share.Īlthough Imgur is not the old Imgur anymore, the suggested alternatives can have more of the same drawbacks.ĭiscord - Good when you share things within a group, but is really hard to search and generally unavailable to outsiders. There are many many options here, and putting something like Cloudflare or any of its CDN competitors in front of whatever you feel like setting up will work fine and be cheap or even free. I am not an expert on this, or any of the previous things for that matter, but one combination I saw recommended was Backblaze + Cloudflare. You can also take a look at ShareX image uploaders or custom uploaders See a pattern yet? Otherwise direct links seem to work, sometimes. Says direct linking is a paid feature, but seems to work either way, for now.Ĭ - They've had to remove anonymous uploads. Can't tell what the retention time is, otherwise looks good. Put.re - I was going to recommend put.re, but apparently they're showing exactly why we can't have nice things You can request access, but I haven't tried. I looked some up for you, but I can't personally vouch for any of them. Take a look at actual imgur alternatives. Discord has Nitro, Reddit has Gold, Twitter has Blue, GitHub has Team. If you feel bad about abusing the service, you could throw some money at them. This may not be your favorite option, but it is my favorite option as a reader of your comment or post, because the probability of the link just working and directly opening the image in the future is higher than most other services. In GitHub drop images in a comment of your own gist for example. In Twitter just tweet it, or reply tweet it to yourself if you want it more hidden. In Discord start a personal "Notebook" group and upload your images there. So instead I have some options that may fit at least the HN use case of occasionally sharing a screenshot or a photo.Ībuse a popular unrelated service that you already have an account for.įor example Discord, Reddit, Twitter and GitHub all let you upload an image and link directly to it. I wish I could give you an alternative as good as the original imgur, but as you probably know, it is very difficult to host a no nonsense image hosting service. If you don't have time for that, let me quote a comment from the acquisition thread: "the general idea seems to buy declining brands for cheap and extract as much value as possible". If that doesn't ring any bells, have a listen to the episode 93 of Darknet Diaries. One where you can't directly link to the image file, and the polar opposite of "no nonsense" image hosting.Īlthough the downhill started way before, I'll also note that imgur was bought by MediaLab in 2021. I have not found a way around this, other than using a Chrome based browser.īut my personal reasons aside, I want you to realize that imgur has become the exact kind of service its creator hated, and you probably hate too.
When I tap on a seemingly direct i./yaddayadda.jpg link, I get the imgur UI loading animation, and it never loads. I also use Firefox on desktop and mobile, as should you. I'll admit that first and foremost I have selfish reasons for this.
Dear HN, please stop using imgur to share images in the posts and comments.
