I have for long used postimages.org whenever I needed one. But imgbb.com is also an equally good option.
Wait, I’m simply pasting them into my comment. Why should I use a dedicated image holster?
To offload the storage requirements of the instance you’re posting in. If everyone starts uploading images directly in the comment, the server HDD/SDD will be overloaded. Consider using a third party service and posting the link from there instead!
Hosting the images directly on the lemmy/kbin instance creates imo unnecessary traffic to the servers. I don’t know if admins can disable selfhosting images, but considering the low-powered machines almost every instance is currently hosted on, I would assume it would be in everyones self-interest to outsource image hosting (at least for now).
Postimages already has official plugins for several forum softwares. I am sure one of them could be tweaked for use in Kbin and Lemmy instances. And postimages themselves might help in this, if contacted.
Discord. You can get the links for images and videos posted in it, and they work outside their original site.
Discord is the worst option in terms of privacy, and since this is the privacy guides community, I am thinking that should be an important criteria to consider.
