Adding sli.mg support

Open spiral6 opened this issue 7 years ago • 5 comments

So, we have Imgur. It's great. But sometimes it goes down. And sometimes we hit a rate limit.

We can also look into creating an additional mirror, a backup if you will, to another site that acts very similarly. In this case, it's http://sli.mg.

If this is ok, I'll work on developing this export plugin as a backup to Imgur. Eventually, not only will this backup be good for the long run, but if we ever handle an Imgur exception, we can attempt to do a backup on this site and link it as an alternative mirror. This is an enhancement.

I'm for sli.mg support. Should it act as an imgur fallback or as an alternate link (both Imgur and sli.mg will be shown in comment)?

I think fallback would be good in the long run, it saves the bot work and reduces redundancy.

I'd probably say an Imgur fallback rather than creating both. I really would prefer to have the comments as small as possible.

sli.mg doesn't work anymore. I'll keep thinking on another source.

I did some brief research and these may work (IDK how good they are, just found them on /r/ImgurAlternatives and know they somewhat have APIs):
