Imgur is wobbling. Any viable European alternative to shill? (sh.itjust.works)

Basically the title. People are currently upset with Imgur for layoffs or something and instead of doing the sensible thing of stopping it's use, they're flooding it. Seems like a good opportunity to shill an european alternative if it exists.

Imgur is not just hosting the image, but also building a feed from all the images it has, and then they can insert ads into the feed. They get traffic from search engines, reddit and their app.
