I’m trying to build a sublemmy (BeWowed) based on r/Damnthat’s intresting and r/BeAmazed material that I have accumulated over the years but i need to host all the videos on imgur. Will lemmy be able to host videos? Do you have better alternatives than imgur? Thanks!

    I think that many people underestimate what it takes to host videos on the internet.

    That being said, isn’t there a federated, distributed video hosting network on the fediverse? Maybe it would be better to just embed links from that.

      Well there’s PeerTube, but it’s just like the old YouTube with fewer features. Can’t do Shorts, can’t get embedded iframe plays for now

        Does it Play YouTube video or it is another YouTube with it’s own videos? Because i need YouTube but i hate reels shorts and don’t want them

          It’s another YouTube with its own. There is also what you need and it’s called Piped. It’s an open-source YouTube video player on which you don’t need Google account
