Thanks for letting me know. I don't get any errors with Imgur, but I have noticed that Imgur posts here on Lemmy typically get way fewer upvotes than non-Imgur posts. If others are getting the same error you are, that could explain why. If anyone knows of a free video hosting alternative to Imgur other than redgifs, please let me know and I can use that instead.

I know this is just anecdotal, but I have literally not seen a single mention of Lemmy anywhere online or in the news in the last 3 months, including on Reddit. "Build it and they will come" only gets you so far...

Let's put things in perspective. Lemmy.world currently has a "whopping" 127k users. That's fewer users than the moderately successful niche subreddit I created on Reddit has, which is just one of several thousand subreddits over 127k in size. Not to mention the tens of thousands of Instagram, youtube, facebook, tiktok, etc., pages with more than 127k subscribers. Saying lemmy.world has "a lot of power" at this point seems like a real stretch to me.

Hmm... Well, the top post right now in this community is from mediamatters.org, hardly an objective journatlistic source. There's also a post from "itsgoingdown.org" getting heavily upvoted, which describes itself as follows: "It’s Going Down is a digital community center for anarchist, anti-fascist, autonomous anti-capitalist and anti-colonial movements across so-called North America. Our mission is to provide a resilient platform to publicize and promote revolutionary theory and action." Not much concern here over journalistic standards with those 2 sources apparently...
