Is there any good alternative to imgur for uploading screenshots? (beehaw.org)

I mainly use imgur to upload screenshots using sharex, would appreciate being pointed in the direction of any alternative.

do they have a sizable community? honestly i just assumed it was almost exclusively used for image hosting.

It's home to a very strange community unaware that their "platform" was just an image host for users of an actual social media platform. Well, at least it was before imgur recently started adding social media features and purged nsfw content.

Popular image posts from reddit would routinely get boosted (sans context) to the top of imgur's homepage, which would attract confused, angry, and often unintentionally hilarious comments from imgur users. Iirc there was a subreddit dedicated to this phenomenon.

I mean, those are both pretty much the same thing these days.
