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.

    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.
