I remember that post from MrGrimm. It went something like “there are no good image hosts for reddit, so I made one”.
When they added user accounts a few years later to spin it off into its own thing, I was among the first to create one. Managed to snag the username “anonymous” before anyone else could. Never actually used the account until last June, when all the 3rd party app drama started on reddit. Now I equally split my time between here and Imgur to replace reddit: I go to imgur for the memes, and Lemmy for the news. Don’t even miss reddit.

Wow! I have 60,424 glorious internet points on Imgur.
I still use imgur as an image host for Lemmy
