for the longest time a lot of images posted to reddit were really posted on imgur (until they started hosting it on their own, too). is there a fediverse'd imgur we should be using to complement lemmy? its docs say it shouldn't be used for large images and videos.

pixelfed seems more like a federated flickr or instagram, not just simple image/album hosting like imgur. thoughts? ty ๐Ÿ’™

I think some sort of p2p solution would be really cool. You could basically allocate a certain amount of storage on your server and images would be stored and grabbed by peers as needed. Something like BitTorrent where multiple peers have the same content to reduce load. Not sure if it already exists or is even practically possible.
