NicestDicerestVideo Support
0x4E4FAs far as I know, yes, but nothing is done regarding that currently cuz there are more important matters to be handled/implemented, like being able to follow users and a s*itload of other bugfixes and smaller features.
empireOfLoveI’m going to guess no. Video would exponentially increase the bandwidth and data storage requirements of instances when these instances already can barely handle their user load and images being posted directly.
Use an external hosting service as much as you can. Linking directly to something more designed to distribute the load, like PeerTube, is vastly more efficient than expecting Lemmy instances to handle it.
Sounds reasonable. Maybe there is a way toembedd the peertube-player directly into lemmy? I mean i’m aware that there are issues which are more important right noe, but maybe in the future. But i think this is actually something that may hold a lot of people back from Lemmy
Yeah, better embed support would go a long way to keeping the load off Lemmy but still supporting additional content. On Desktop it’s not a big deal to just shift-click videos into a new tab, but on mobile it’s slow and I usually lose my spot when I leave the lemmy tab… I’m sure they’ll get to it soon enough.
poVoqIt’s already supported, but disabled by default (for good reasons).
