    It’s doable, but you might as well just upload it here. But for smaller albums, it would be a good idea.

        Instagram replacement rather than Imgur

          Pixelfed can be used as image hoster likewise, those 2 you mention are proprietary, so if one cared about that, they might prefer Pixelfed

        It acts as a Instagram replacement (but is actually about photos and not videos)

          loops.video is aiming for the video segment. Tho’ it seems like one app for pix and vids would be nifty.

            Pixelfed does videos to, and I think federation with loops is planned

              I hadn’t tried vids! Ok, it could get a whole lot weirder, and/or more informative.

      I wish we could have multiple photos in posts here. Yes, we can put other photos in the description, but it would be nice to view all of them without opening the post.
