And as usual since I drew this character mascot again I’m bringing up https://s3nd.pics which has been a fantastic Imgur alternative so far and it’s being made by former imguriens.
But I’m also sharing a few new updates and projects in the works along with the new art :)
S3ND is a modern image sharing platform designed for everyone from lurkers, posters, creators, cosplayers, photographers and artists of all types to showcase their work and connect with their audience. We believe in providing a simple, fast, and secure platform for visual content sharing.
Eventually the goal is to empower creators with the tools they need to share their work and build their community. We even have a creator update coming so artists of all types can share and profit from their work and even make teams so groups of creators can have their own spaces! So please, artists of all types feel free to check it out or ask questions :P
Yes it’s new and shiny and It’s not perfect but community feedback is extremely important to us and we continue to update based on the communities wants and needs. But there is crazy potential, consistent updates, waaaay more posting freedoms *wink wink*, awesome customizable interface, growing fast and fuck ton of shit posting :) and NO ADS! (And no I’m not getting paid lol, I’ve been helping them because it’s truly really fun over there plus FYBD)
Plus A LOT of familiar faces and big names have stopped over to see the shenanigans lol (And thanks again @Alsoashley for cosplaying the mascot!)
Check out our discord as well if you’re looking to see what we are trying to accomplish or if you have any questions or issues in joining…Really cool stuff in the works if you wanna see the roadmap :)

We handle what get views a tad differently. Yes there the basic “newest and trending” but we have “top posts”, and not just for the day….But the week, the month and the year! O_o
A plethora of options and more coming! Also we just added DMs :)
And here is a little teaser about the upcoming creators update. Here you will be able to share all your socials, sell your work, get tips, and make “teams” to work on projects together! Sorry for the background I’m still using the animated Halloween theme here.
And an insane about of personal user settings to completely customize your browsing needs. ;} You can even pick color themes on what everything looks like.
So maybe we’ll ya on the flip side :)

Any plans to do a Secret Santa like Imgur used to do?

Is there a proper way to just favorite images/gifs for use as reactions, like there is here, yet? Or is it still just "download and save"?
DyingOx
Yup you can favorite anything…We even has a “steal meme” option that’s pretty fun:)

Masterful tactics on the background images in the guide

I found a post with a video on there, played it and wanted to lower the volume, clicking on the video to bring it into focus mode basically broke the volume controls and changed the layout of the video controls, but the site looked good! Just wanted to give some feedback.

There is a site roadmap where you can submit or upvote changes you want to see.

Well played, the thighs drew me in enough that I read what you wrote
DyingOx
Well thank ya kindly!
FeIineDisrespectFromBehind
I know nothing about the technical side of it, so I imagine it's probably a ways off, but is there any plans for an app?
SpringPurse
Yes, they're in the stages of getting it approved for the stores
FeIineDisrespectFromBehind
Awesome!

The .pics suffix makes my phone lose its fucking mind.
I can access it on a real computer, but I rarely have time to be on that one.
DyingOx
Mmmm this is a new one but I let the super code monkey creators know about the issue so thank you for bringing it to our attention. Feel free to try the discord if you feel like explaining more in our bugs/issues thread. Every bit counts.
Bluefasa
There's just a few things about it that I find too frustrating to really use currently, like why can't we right-click -> open link in new tab on the posts?! Why only 10 images per post? Why push all the text for each image in a dump to the bottom in one clump? Why is the site eating 50% of my GPU?
WhoseItWhatsIt
You can middle-click to open posts in a new tab currently. For the rest of your feedback most of these have been reported and are either known bugs or features that are being worked on. For the GPU usage, it seem the waterfall view isnt perfect yet but grid runs smoother.
Bluefasa
Oh thanks! I really thought these were fairly purposeful design decisions (Not the GPU thing).
Mithi
Thanks! That was my main problem! I usually have the middle button configured to double-click, but for my browser it is now "middle".

Still getting a message about confirming my email and I don't get a confirmation email or i'd join you folks :/
DyingOx
One sec :)
WhoseItWhatsIt
S3ND's team has been manually sending them out, I would check you email now otherwise, head to their discord and they should be able to manually verify
DyingOx
I Let them know. You should be good to go :)

Thx bb

I've found something deeply aggravating: "Links" to albums on the front page are not actually links, they're Javascript bullshit, which means they can't be opened in new tabs. This is won't-use-the-site levels of aggravating for me.
WhoseItWhatsIt
you can middle-click to open items in a new tab.
The devs have been working pretty hard on getting it to it's current point.
Im pretty sure this is already in the pipeline and being worked on, but if you really can't stand it you can put a feature request in their /roadmap and let the community vote on it.
Arcanum3000
Specifically intercepting middle click to open in a new tab is bad design, because it breaks everything that is not specifically middle clicking to open in a new tab: Shift-click, right-click->open in new tab, mouse gestures that invoke the browser's open-link-in-new-tab function, every open-link-in-new-window function. I'm fortunate enough to not need them, but not having "links" be actual links probably breaks a ton of accessibility tools as well. It's bad and wrong.
WhoseItWhatsIt
items *facepalm*
Posts* you can open posts in a new tab with middle-click.

At least for me, the site runs really, really poorly. Like, the animated background and auto-play gifs on the front page are at like 3-5 FPS, and when I use my scroll wheel, it's a full second of input delay.
WhoseItWhatsIt
Try switching to grid view, it should run better than waterfall. It seems like they are working on improving alot of these things.
Plus the site is only 2 months old, alot of these are just optimizations that will be implemented over time.
thegrimreaver
It was in grid mode. I just tried waterfall, and there was no difference. For added info, I use Firefox primarily, but when I opened it in Microsoft edge, it ran smoothly, so I guess it's optimized for Chromium?
IMakeLotsOfReferencesAndRemakes
Ew. I know there is degoogled chromium browsers but I would rather not use any. I hope they fix it cause that is bad. Not only does it run poorly on FF it makes anything else you are running go slow too.
WhoseItWhatsIt
I think the devs have largely been testing in chrome and vivaldi

Password reset is what I consider foundational functionality and its absence makes me wonder how the auth portion of the backend is implemented
DyingOx
It is actually going to become a thing and is being worked on :)
WhoseItWhatsIt
Its already implemented, devs have been manually triggering password resets if needed.
There just isn't a way for users to trigger it yet, Im guessing its along the same reason why they are manually triggering verification emails.
likesprivacytoo
How do you know it's already implemented? Is there a code repo that I can follow along too?
WhoseItWhatsIt
Their discord has a solid changelog, otherwise I have seen users request the mods for password resets
WhoseItWhatsIt
Pretty much all updates are in their pinned posts section as well

This is amazing. Helpful for us UK folks who got locked out. My confirmation email hasn't arrived yet and I am sad.
