Every time I see a video on other platforms, I may share this on Lemmy. Or every time I get creative to shoot a footage or create a video, I may share too. But, I reached conscientious about the availability and capacity of Lemmy instance(servers) to multimedias and videos, whether uploaded or embedded.
One of the reasons I get hooked on platforms is instantly displayed videos or interactives that also make me started to comment and discuss along those videos. Maybe this Lemmy be focusing first on being a news-link aggregator, text-to-text forum and pic ranking.
Or this hindrance I am wondering of is just insignificant (for now)?
I’m new here just like most other folks, but from what I’ve seen so far is: Lemmy is a place to post links to your content, Peertube is the place to post your videos, Pixelfed is the place to post GIFs and short videos. Lemmy can handle picture uploads, but not much more than that right now.
But none of these instances is going to survive if users don’t donate. All those corporate social media sites were free because you weren’t the customer, you were the product.
This is the way I see it too. It would be nice if along with the recent growth in Lemmy, if we also had a growth in Peertube instances that could be used for publishing and linking video.
