Uninstall the official app and install Opengur.
If you're like me and just use imgur for image hosting, it's way more light and reliable for uploading images quickly, and also when you click the "copy URL" button in Opengur, it gives you the direct image link instead of the imgur page with that image.
I believe all the remaining ones are unmaintained and broken at this point. I used this one in the past, but AFAIK it doesn’t allow you to upload to an account.
Otherwise, to minimize Imgur community exposure with Opengur, you can login once, remove the icon from your home screen and exclusively “share” from other apps, like the Gallery. I can’t remember getting any unsolicited notifications (like the cake day thingy) from it that way on an upload-only alt account.
Undoubtedly, Imgur is among the best, if not the best hosting service.
But I'm sure there would be thousands of reddit users with the skills and will to create a new site to replace it, given how potentially lucrative it can be to have millions of hits a day.
Ninja Edit: Imgur has a current ALexis rating of 40 globally, and 11 in the US http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/imgur.com
http://postimage.org/ This site does relatively the same as Imgur without all the community, although it's current upload limits are similar to Imgur's service 1 year ago.
But yes, Imgur would likely remain on the top of the charts for the most part
For Android users: Opengur
Open-source Imgur app. So longer being developed but everything important still works. You can share an image to Opengur to upload it to Imgur, then you can copy the direct image link from the notification (unlike the official Imgur app, which wants you to copy the image page link). It's also way faster than the Imgur app.

Loads of subreddits you know you could just create with all the people that are on voat you will have big content in no time... oh wait it takes 3 upvotes to reach voat's front page.
B: lol even I know that voat has an android app and I don't even use it.
I'm actually kind of surprised you would want to go to a site that is full of KiA, /r/Conspiracy and /r/FPH people.
Just use Slide for Reddit or some other app. You're able to save images and gifs/videos then. 3rd party apps are better than the official app anyway.
With the noted exception of Reddit's experimental stuff like r/pan and r/layer; you still need the official app for that.
Also there's ImgurViewer which is handy.
Typical Reddit, I'm used to it.
I received it with Turkish IP. Did some testing with Zenmate and those ads appeared for Romania and Singapore too. For Germany I saw normal ads in German, for USA I got ads from Reuters.
I cleared the cookies, rebooted my modem to get a new IP, flushed local storage, tried in a different browser and those ads continued to appear.
I can understand if those ads were shown to me if I was browsing nfsw subreddits, but that's not the case. I'm mostly involved in subreddits such as gaming/programming/askreddit/worldnews so my tracking history should never include anything like that.
Anyway, I contacted Imgur and explained them the issue. Seems like their head of advertising quickly called Taboola and sorted this problem out.
Ps. I reported this to IWF organization regardless. This should never happen on a brand-safe site like Imgur.
I use Relay for Reddit for a while now, am pretty happy with it.
But there are others aswell that might be just as good, or better.
