Is there an ActivityPub alternative to imgur? I know Pixelfed is like Instagram, but I just want an all-purpose image repository, not a social image site.

@scribblemacher @feditips

I'm not really looking for a place to showcase every image I upload, just a nice safe place to upload images for using elsewhere, like in blog posts.

FediTips has moved!

@raineyday @scribblemacher

I'm not sure you'd need an AP alternative if you're just wanting to post the images elsewhere?

You'd just need somewhere to store them?

ActivityPub is a way for social servers to communicate with each other, not sure how it would be useful in that scenario?

@feditips @scribblemacher

Yeah, I guess I was just wondering how far the "de-centralized alternatives to VC-backed services" went.

@raineyday @scribblemacher

If you want to own your own storage and online services, I'd highly recommend @nextcloud

I've done an article about it at growyourown.services/beginners

It's not ActivityPub (well, there is a plugin in development) but it's under your own control.

You can also join other people's Nextcloud servers if they accept signups, just like on Mastodon.
