Rumor has it that Discord image links might begin expiring within 24 hours of being posted by the end of the year. This means that images hosted on Discord and used on other sites will likely break. If you have links on there that you're using to fancy up profiles, now might be the time to migrate them to another site!
Should I use Imgur?
Sadly, Imgur doesn't like it when people use its site to host files for other sites so I would advise against it... The main alternative I use at the moment is catbox.
I use Pluralkit/Tupperbox, what should I do?
This update will unfortunately break most tupperbox/pluralkit avatars when it rolls out. I only have experience with Tupperbox, so I can't give much details on PK but I can provide a short guide on how to save all your avatars with Tupper (open spoiler):
1. Go into your bot commands channel of choice on Discord (make sure Tupperbox is there!) and type "tul!export"
After a few seconds, the bot should show a message reading "Sent you a DM:"
2. Check your Discord DMs with Tupperbox and download the "tuppers.json" file it sent you.
You can do this by clicking the white arrow circled in the image or the blue file hyperlink.
3: Plonk that file into Synthetic Garden's Avatarchive and click "get my avatars." This tool will give you all your character/alter avatars as PNGs and has more detailed instructions for PluralKit users in the drop-down FAQ. :D
4: Extract the zip and stash all your images in your file host of choice.
5: Replace the Discord avatar links with those hosted links. This is much easier to do on the dashboard of your bot of choice.
and after that you're done! :)Feel free to spread this around if you'd like, I can't really stop you
