I’m making a community with a bunch of archived photos and videos I have of cats getting pulled along in shoeboxes in a train like formation - I’m calling it CatTrain.

Anyway typically I would host it on Reddit any they would come from v.reddit (after Imgur got all pissy) but I want to avoid using Reddits backend after they also decided to change direction.

What does everyone recommend?

      Note you can also follow Peertube channels from Lemmy, and comment on the videos from here.

        Hey @nutomic, so I ended up creating a pixelfed account after looking at what all if this is about and posting there… Since it does both videos and photos and also I got in immediately but still waiting for a peertube account to be approved.

        Anyway so I direct linked the MP4 over on !cattrain@lemmy.ml and there is no preview or indication it’s a video. Is there a better way to link them for user engagement? The images show up just fine

      Haha that’s another kind of rabbit-hole. Peertube would be cool, but in the end you can upload it anywhere, who really cares.

        i agree that it doesn’t matter much for now. but ideally we should learn from the imgur purge and choose something that is reliable.
