There are good short form videos. There are also bad ones. No different than long form video.

Sure, but why? PeerTube already exists and it isn't like there are length limits.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Because some people prefer the format.

There is no federation on peertube though, is there ?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, there is. You can even follow PeerTube channels from Lemmy.

wow that's great. Last I checked there was no such thing

Because the constraints make it interesting
I want the length limits.

It's also one of the best ways to advertise as a small content creator. The internet hates self-promotion with a passion, but short form videos? People love that shit.
