Isn’t pixelfed more Instagram than imgur? I think they should still implement those 3 because the best way to get people on lemmy would be to get the established content creators using those platforms. Redgifs for example is a very good host for NSFW works.

I hope there is some way to implement something like streamable/imgur/redgifs on lemmy. I don’t mind if it’s these services if fediverse alternatives aren’t there yet.

They form the backbone of content creation, from Porn to highlight clips of sports subreddits.

I agree. I think there are moderstion logs though which is a good step towards transparency, I think there should be admin logs too for the same.

As for the running costs, I hope there is a more transparent system rather than running it for profit and selling it to corporations.
