    How did Discord make the list but not Imgur? At least Imgur is somewhat like reddit.

      Imgur was originally designed as an image server for Reddit. They actually share front pages (or used to, I haven’t been in a while)

        I remember that post from MrGrimm. It went something like “there are no good image hosts for reddit, so I made one”.

        When they added user accounts a few years later to spin it off into its own thing, I was among the first to create one. Managed to snag the username [REDACTED] before anyone else could. Never actually used the account until last June, when all the 3rd party app drama started on reddit. Now I equally split my time between here and Imgur to replace reddit: I go to imgur for the memes, and Lemmy for the news. Don’t even miss reddit.
