Best way to upload pics? (kbin.social)

A question for our dear admin, @ernest , (I hope I tagged that right) what is the best way for Kbin's sake to upload pictures on here? Should we use a third party site to reduce the burden, or does that not matter much? If so, which third party site works best for Kbin's uhhh code... structure? idk, I don't know anything about websites, I just don't want to like, create problems or anything!

I have the same question, but regarding video. I see upload video as an option, but it does not seem to be working.

"I just don’t want to like, create problems or anything" that's cute lol

Anyway, I think if you upload it to imgur it's more than enough because then you offload the heavy part to imgur and you only share a link to the image..

If you insist on uploading directly, try to compress it a bit to jpeg
