Detailed info on Imgur's automatic image resizing service?

Question

I searched for a few posts and they mentioned tweaking image URLs to let Imgur resize images automatically, and here's the info I've known by far.

4 available suffices, lmsh

l is for large, forcing down to 640x640
m is for medium
s is for small

Can anyone tell me:

@Catjia Thank you for info. That's not complete. See the accepted answer. — iBug says Reinstate Monica, Jul 26, 2017 at 6:34
Funilly enough; I had started writing this exact question/answer after my last experiment with image resizing. Seems like someone beat me to the punch. — Stevoisiak, Jul 27, 2017 at 14:04

Nice! Is there a list of possible values for the ?s=[x] appended to the URL to resize it? I always wondered about it. :)

@ShadowWizard I didn't find any options like that. I used to know the Imgur API link when I post this feature-request

So maybe it's something tailored especially for SE... back in the day imgur were young and small, so it's possible.
