Comment on PSA: Stop using Imgur for now

Catbox is basically what Imgur used to be before it went to absolute shit. You upload images, you can link to them. That’s it. You don’t need to create an account, but if you do, you can see everything you’ve uploaded. It’s free. Not really sure what more you can ask for in an image host.

Can you just browse other peoples uploads on there looking for funny pics and memes?

  Nope! It’s an image host, not a social media platform, which in my opinion is the best thing about it.

    This brought back memories. We used to have a local image host and there was a hidden /recents page that I discovered. It listed all the recent uploads by users. I don’t think it was meant to be public, because the shit I could find there was both too personal and NSFW

  Asking the important questions. I need the shitposting, not just the image hosting.

Catbox is also nonfunctional on some VPNs.

  Didn’t know that! I use an always-on VPN and I’ve never had issues with Catbox (but imgur blocks me), for what it’s worth.

Catbox doesn’t work properly on some US mobile carriers, returns a DNS error

  I just loaded it through a Comcast connection, so it’s definitely not an IP block or route issue. I don’t use Comcast’s dns though and I’m completely unwilling to do so even for test purposes so you could still be right.
