Unfortunately ImgBB has been previously used to post CSAM on Lemmy so the admins may have adopted some kind of automatic filter for that site in particular. So really anything besides that should be fine, Imgur is good afaik.
what’s the specific issue uploading to the instance?
I was told that it'd be preferable to upload elsewhere and give a link, because otherwise I'd be uploading junk on Lemmy.world servers that they have to pay for.
Not something I was aware of but I get the logic. On the flip side, if its an issue for lemmy.world to have to pay for image hosting then they could easily turn the option off and require users to submit images another wayv
Imgur is good. Simply said any good moderated image hoster.
I have found catbox to be reliable, if a bit laggy for video formats. Don't expect peak performance there and be sure to optimize the content as well as you can. Otherwise, it works great.
