Viewing images on reddit has always been broken. Without RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite) the UX on the site is horrendous. And even with RES, images not hosted on imgur wouldn't work most of the time.
It was so bad I took on myself to aggregate images from /r/funny and put them in a mobile friendly and fast website. http://www.pixpit.com http://www.pixpit.com
unfortunately every time I tried to talk about it on reddit, they deleted it.
- dredmorbius 10y agoQuite this. I use reddit more-or-less as a blog (https://dredmorbius.reddit.com https://dredmorbius.reddit.com). What I particularly like is the extended community, Markdown, mod tools, Wiki (though it's underpowered), search (though it's posts-only, no comments), and, through RES, some nice features for composing, and viewing images in posts. But that last applies to a very small subset of readers. And as I make a fair bit of use of images (to illustrate and document points in my essays), that's a considerable pain point. Ello, whilst lacking many other features, and having broken Markdown (notably: no blockquote support), does have phenomenal image support. Other options are fairly thin, though Medium might be worth another look.
