Every time I try to upload an image, I receive an error stating that my account is too recent to upload images.

I understand the mechanism, but I couldn’t find anywhere what the threshold is.

Additionally, I noticed this restriction also applies to community logo/banner, which is a bit more restrictive.

    You could just use Imgur. If you do this ![]() and put the link in the parentheses it’ll show up the same as uploading it. Example:

    • Bubs@lemm.ee
      link
      fedilink

      I recommend Catbox.moe

      Imgur is convenient sometimes, but It’s impossible to trust them after they purged a large chunk of their images some time ago. They deleted all anonymous images, basically killing a large swath of old forums, guides, and sites containing information that we’ll never find again.

      Plus, they run imgur like a tacky social media site now, not an image hosting site.

      Another one I’ve tried. Works fine and is well known. imgbox.com

      Stolen from the sidebar of r/imguralternatives. Haven’t used them myself, but they are well known:
