imgin for imgur? - https://imgin.voidnet.tech/

In particular, for the last year or so, imgur insists on no longer letting you directly view an image file (and they do it sneakily to in that, initially it works, but then after a few hours it'll then give you the full-fat webpage instead).

Using imgin instead fixes that.

Example: https://i.imgur.com/K3uuCjc.png https://imgur.com/K3uuCjc

https://imgin.voidnet.tech/K3uuCjc

In a few hours after me posting this, the top direct-file imgur link should theoretically start re-directing to the second full-fat imgur link.

Shouldn't be too hard. Is there a list of instances available somewhere – or is imgin.voidnet.tech the only one?

Apologies for the delay in reply, but AFAIK it's (currently?) the only instance. Also I didn't realize it at the time, but imgin was broken for albums, but that's fixed now. Example:

I just wanted to mention that, via https://simple-web.org and https://farside.link I've since discovered rimgo which works better for imgur.
