Is there a good alternative to imgur ? (lemmy.ml)

I don't really like imgur but it's cool to upload your picture just at one place so I'm wondering if there's any nice replacement to it.

Pixelfed is probably the best option. Here's the main instance: https://pixelfed.social/

This one isn't open source, but https://postimages.org/ is much easier to use than imgur, and it can even do albums.

I thought that Pixelfed was more like an alternative to something like instagram (maybe it's the same as imgur but I've never been a big instagram guy :downcast face with sweat: ).
Thx for the second one, it seems really cool even if it's not open source.

They seem kinda different, but both are in the end just a place to upload pictures. The difference is that instagram and pixelfed have more user-centric / following type features than imgur, which was meant originally just to be a quick upload bin. Although now imgur is trying to be kind of a new social network in itself with having "tags", votes, and comment threads.

I agree, I've been using postimages for sometime now.
