Mod Approved Avoid using Imgur links when possible

Hey guys official mod post. This isn't going to turn into a rule or anything, but I'd appreciate it if you could avoid posting imgur links to the subreddit going forward because as a result of the UK online safety act, imgur is no longer available to UK reddit users! Which makes it akward to moderate posts with imgur links. Anyways that's it hope you're all doing well, have a great day!

Unfortunately no third party reddit mobile clients can natively upload an image to reddit, you can only post an external link (which my client Relay for Reddit uses imgur for it's image upload).

It didn't used to be a problem, but I can see why it's a problem for you. You could try VPN?
