The canonical post on how to.

I bounce between imgbb.com, which is usually slow, and makes me trim the link, and postimages.org, which slams me with ads on the phone but not the computer (must be the superior ad-blocker, or just Firefox there. )

I post a ton of images, and I would host my own damn photos but I am too cheap to rent time on a server on the net.

FWIW, webp is common, and does not work here. Conversion to jpeg varies. On the phone it's a PITA, so I just take screenshots now and then and upload them to one of the above.
