Usually I just upload stuff to social media without thinking about it twice. Here, though, devs require user donations to keep the servers running.
So im wondering, if I intend to post a videogame clip, is it recommended to upload it elsewhere and then link it here? Or am i overthinking this and I should just upload my clutches?
Edit: Looking at Lemmy’s Documentation, Not only they recommend Peertube, but also PixelFed for uploading larger images and videos.
I haven’t looked into it a great deal either, but my impression is using peertube would just be exchanging using one donation-based server for another.
BUT then I did look more into it and that’s fairly wrong, peertube uses p2p torrents to reduce server load. @aka_oscar@beehaw.org should check out https://joinpeertube.org/instances?profile=video-maker&themes=7&nsfw=blur"a=5000000000&isStreamer=no and give that a shot
Oooh I like the P2P stuff, if everyone is a server then no one needs to be a server!
That sound really nice. I, too, was worrying if it was gonna be a matter of “which instance should we fuck with all this videos to oblivion”. Peertube seems like the ideal option as of right now.
I am wondering if its possible to embed the videos into lemmy (idk if i said it right. I mean i dont want to always go to another website to watch a video like in this case. Makes sense for 10 min videos but not for 15 sec clips). But dw about it, youve helped greatly.
