I want to keep bandwidth and storage costs down for lemmus as much as possible. Should I upload images to Imgur or other image-hosting websites instead?

Feel free to use whichever method you prefer! The only ask is to avoid directly uploading porn to lemmus. This is due to the limited moderation controls currently in-place and preferring to avoid the legal risk.
As for costs, while our bills are a bit high right now almost all of it comes from database and compute. Storage and bandwidth are pretty cheap for us and we aggressively cache everything we can.
