iOS Shortcut to upload images to Imgur (since direct uploads are disabled on lemm.ee)

Interesting. I mostly used https://catbox.moe, thanks for this!
I prefer not to use that specific service because they block viewing access to Tor users, so they end up not being able to see images that are hosted on that site.
This is great
