I would like to post photos on a site that is accessible to others but that is A) somewhat respectful of personal information (i.e. nothing owned by Facebook); and B) is not too silly looking (Imgur). Is there any good option, or is Flickr still worthwhile? I don’t mind if the site charges a reasonable fee. Thank you.

    I pay for Flickr pro, and have no regrets. My use case is a little different than most I think… I use it as another backup mainly, but also use the API access on a WordPress site, and my android tv box has flickfolio running to play slideshows. I also run a Piwigo server at home for family sharing.

    Have you considered just setting up your own website?

    Thank you everyone for all these helpful answers! I’m reading through each one and I really appreciate them. It looks like Flickr is still good

    For what you want to use it for, Flickr is still the best option!

    I recently started to revive mine, and frankly should’ve used it for a link I posted this morning instead of 500px :P

    Flickr is a great platform to begin with and you can use the Flickr storage as a backend for your own website. It’s not as fast as using an image CDN, but the speed difference is not that noticeable.

    Take a look at Nanogallery: https://nanogallery2.nanostudio.org/. With some very basic PHP/HTML skills and understanding of JavaScript you can go a long way.
