I’ve read that uploading all your images/gifs/videos to lemmy will cause big server costs down the line.

I wanted to do my part in keeping the costs low so which site or app or whatever do people recommend to upload your media to for linking in posts? I’ve tried imgur and I’m not really a fan

    i still use imgur. I don’t upload via the webui but have a context menu entry in my file explorer (dolphin). That uploads them without my account and immediately gives me the direct .jpg link.

    So viewing them is not hindered by any ads.

      I think uploads without accounts are deleted after a while, which leads to link rot. If you are uploading images to helpful posts, then those posts will have incomplete information if the image is essential to it.
