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/

[-] merlin@open-source.social 2 points 1 year ago

I can see it embedded on kbin if that's what you mean.

[-] bappity@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] LollerCorleone@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] bappity@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

[-] Ganbat@lemmyonline.com 5 points 1 year ago

imgchest.com supports gifs and videos.

[-] LollerCorleone@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

That's a good suggestion. Especially since they support videos as well.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
