What's a good replacement for Imgur to link pictures/albums to Lemmy? (lemmy.world)

I used Imgur a lot to post pictures to reddit and since I replaced reddit with lemmy already I thought it would be nice to replace Imgur as well.

Features of Imgur that I need:

uploading images (usually small so having size limits is not a problem)
being able to combine different images into albums
being able to get links to images without them being pushed for public view on the entire platform, that is only people with the full link see them (this is very useful when writing guides containing screenshots, those screenshots have no place in being published outside of the guide using them).

That's something I'm looking for as well, especially since Imgur frequently blocks VPN IPs. Not even my screenshot app offers any other hoster so I would assume it doesn't exist yet though.
Images should also be deleted after a while by default, for your quick "look at this" non permanent type of upload.

I tried PIxelfed, it's basically a blogging platform with pictures, not exactly a replacement for Imgur for the way I use it.

I guess there's not enough demand yet in the fediverse for a simple picture "manager" platform.
