I know this isn’t quite the proper forum for asking this, but I can’t think of any other place. Looking for a site where I can post little videos to share on Lemmy Meme Communities. A – Non-youtube-y place.

Bonus points if it plays nicely with Lemmy, opening on apps and such.

    I know you said a none-YouTube-ish place, but PeerTube videos play directly on Lemmy.

    Videos without audio? Imgur can handle mp4s and imgur links autoplay in the Lemmy apps ive used (Boost and Voyager)

    Videos with audio, well really YT is the best place, pretty much anybody who cares about YT tracking/ads/views will have processes/plugins in place to handle YT links. Like there are plugins that will automatically modify a YT link to a designated invidious instance or whatever

    If you really really don’t want to upload to YT, a Peertube instance is your best bet, unfortunately just don’t expect it to be particularly…fast. Every Peertube video I’ve tried to watch buffered every 10-30 seconds, but I don’t blame them, video is very intense, expensive and difficult to handle compared to every other media type

      Surely that’s the link that should be posted, then?

      Where and when did you experience issues with PeerTube videos? It really comes down to the PeerTube provider if their bandwidth can handle it.

      Imgur can also handle videos with audio. The main restriction with them is that the MP4s have to be less than a minute.

      I’ll embed one here, which may or may not work, depending on what you’re using (if it doesn’t embed, the post is here)
