Plenty of larger instances limit the upload size because it can snowball into huge hosting costs rather quickly.

I've had the chance to join several big servers and even manage my own (calckey.social). Usually, they set an upload size limit of around 10-15MB, which is more than sufficient for most photos.

However, I must say that I'm not a big fan of Imgur. It's not the best experience for visitors and feels like a prime example of something being unnecessarily unpleasant. I believe people mainly use Imgur out of habit, and the drawbacks haven't been significant enough to overcome that familiarity just yet.

yup, I’ve seen Beehaw admins asking people to use external image hosting sites in order to reduce the server load before.
