NetGuard is amazing, really can't recommend it enough.

You can use it to specify which apps are allowed to use WiFi/data, and whether they're allowed to use all the time or only if screen is active. It also allows you to set a hosts file URL and update it with a single click. It has improved my battery life, I rarely see ads (both when using the browser and when using apps), and it force me to use old.reddit.com since reddit.com is blocked by my host file.

Default settings prevent posting to Imgur through their app. What other normal functionality does this break, and why?

imgur and reddit have become evil, so I wouldn't say it's surprising that their websites/apps stop working when you begin to block tracking and analytics. Both of these companies seem to go out of their way to break functionality for users that try to protect their privacy. I recommend you blame imgur rather than NetGuard.
