Lemmy doesn't seem to allow uploading them natively, and it's hard to create a Mustangs Crashing or Idiots in Cars channel without an easy way to attach video.

The best thing I can think of is probably Pixelfed or even a dedicated Masto profile or something, but neither is really ideal. I’d love to see a federated Imgur emerge- and I wouldn’t be fully surprised if one eventually does.

Thanks. I never tried Pixelfed, but from what I could get from their homepage, they don't support mp4.

I'm not on Mastodon, but have some friends who are. I'll ask them about it.

I can say they do support MP4! The server owner needs to have it enabled but I’d wager most do :)

Sadly, mine doesn't, unless it's changed since I last talked to my admin.🙁

Not a huge deal though.

[–] Casuallynoted@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn that sucks :( I'm so sorry

[–] linuxFan@vlemmy.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No big deal. I just opened a Mastodon account, so hopefully that can serve as a makeshift imgur.

@Casuallynoted @linuxFan Hello from mas.to (mastodon instance), btw

(federation is so cool)

👋 Hi. I'm https://cheeseburger.social/@linuxFan on mastodon. Not much content there yet.

PeerTube would probably be good for hosting mp4s, but you'd basically have to run your own instance. The last time I looked, there weren't any open PeerTube instances that people could just sign up for and use. (Which makes sense, since video hosting is pretty resource-intensive and most hobbyists couldn't afford to run a general-purpose instance.)
