(Saffron:) What is the preferred way of sharing short videos on here? I'm assuming if we share many of them, that is a lot for the server. I've uploaded it to Loops - does a Loops link work? https://loops.video/v/9mdlxKd28E I would upload it to MakerTube, but I'm getting a "404 not found" error there (maybe it's dead).

Video description: an ace pride striped bumblebee named Amber, made out of chenille yarn, zooms down the street (pillow) in a knitted wheelchair. A black and yellow version, named Cecelia, sees her and asks about her wheelchair. Amber shows off by zooming away. Cecelia says "wow!" The ending shows them side by side, saying "We can be adopted!" Underneath it says "(link in bio)"

Note: The bees do not move during the shots. They were moved in between and the effect of zooming was done by moving the camera.

@rainbow_phoenix seriously "many of them" would be like. hundreds or thousands.

Cathode's media storage is (and probably always will be) dominated by remote media, not local media from cathode users. Which is what I'd want to have here anyway.

So while mastodon isn't necessarily the best video interface, don't feel guilty about uploading them!
I specifically increased the max attachment size a bunch so people could.

@s0 (Saffron:) Oh, nice!! I'm so glad to know that. We *are* thinking we'll try to upload one a day (because we're aiming, with these, to primarily promote on TikTok and Instagram, and the algorithms on those kind of requires daily posts)

but I guess if we get to the point of being successful at that for multiple months, we can turn on auto-delete!

Thank you! <3

@rainbow_phoenix and like here is the stats.

Attachments: 473 GB (7.92 GB local)
Custom emoji: 5.59 GB (18.5 MB local)
Preview cards: 92.6 GB
Avatars: 26.7 GB (20.1 MB local)
Headers: 63.2 GB (50.5 MB local)
Backups: 61.4 MB
Imports: 0 Bytes

that's 1.6% of media is actually from cathode users.

you go wild babes.

@s0 (Saffron:) Thank you again! I posted it!
