    I’m not in favour of scanning the content of many to serve the few. YouTube urls are compatible with piped urls so you could simply copy/paste them and replace the urls if you prefer that (which I do).

    That being said, you’re open to create a bot account yourself (and mark it as such in the account settings) and set up the bot. As long as there are no complaints, you’re free to do that.









  • It’s way simpler than that. No lists, no accounts, no search. You literally just upload a file and get a link to a viewer/player. The main place to be will still be waveform.social, this clips thing is just a way to upload media to get a link to share on waveform.social.

    With regard to copyright claims: a link to send an email in the footer would be enough. I can go and delete any infringing content.

    If at some point people would like to do more (like delete their content) then we can add it at that point. But right now I want to do the simplest thing that could possibly work.


  • I think building a full replacement for the current UI would be too involved. I am talking about an additional service to augment this instance (which would be hosted on clips.waveform.social).

    So basically people will go there, drop/upload a file and get a link to be able to create a post on this instance.

    Lemmy already supports embedding post content if the target site supports embedding (through opengraph metadata) which is why we can easily embed the media into the post.

    If you’re willing to design some pages that would be awesome.


  • It is a website/webapp yes. I don’t think it is big enough to be mobile or desktop first. It should work well on either.

    Basically there will be 3 pages:

    1. Upload a new clip (to get a link)
    2. View the clip (visit the link)
    3. Embedded widget

    All three of these should work on mobile and desktop.

    I also started a poll to figure out which themes people use. If it has a mixed outcome I may want to facilitate automatic light/dark theme switching based on browser preferences.
