Imgur now blocks several VPNs and have issues loading embedded previews in several fediverse platforms. So instead of using imgur, you could use one of the following alternatives for uploading your images.
https://postimages.org/
https://imgbox.com/
https://imgbb.com/
https://www.imagebam.com/
has anyone got hosting sites for uploading videos/GIFs?
Postimages supports GIFs and animated webp.
A cat gif
That was hosted on postimages ^
embed test
(it works on Lemmy,
not kbin tho)I can see it embedded on kbin if that’s what you mean.
oh right I tried viewing it on there and could still only see the alt text.
maybe I didn’t wait long enough for it to load
Click on the image icon on the side of the alt text and you will see the image. If you want, you can set images in posts to autoload from settings.
It works on kbin. I am on kbin.social.
weird I tried viewing it on there and it just showed the alt text
imgchest.com supports gifs and videos.
That’s a good suggestion. Especially since they support videos as well.
