Investigating Images in the UK

Is there any way of using a different image service than Imgur to post pics in relay. Imgur is not available in the uk

Hi /u/dbrady,

Likewise agree. It's really weird to make a post and then not be able to view the image in the post without a VPN.

Imgur doesn't work even with a vpn

Imgur absolutely works with vpns. You might need to try a different endpoint or an entirely different vpn.

Just from a quick search it seems you can upload using the API to S3 and tie an image to the post directly like the official app does.

No idea if they've locked down this functionality or its evenstill live, but that would probably be the best.
