Subsidiary question, how do you share videos, is it possible on Lemmy now?
I can't share images bigger than 2MB ๐ฐ
That is an instance specific limitation.
Yeah I know, but it also seems to be a pictrs limitation, I have fiddled around a bit without success on my instance.
Post them to another host (realisticly, probably YouTube) and then post the link to that.
Well that won't show up as a video on Lemmy or will it?
Depends of the interface. Mp4 show up correctly on the Web UI
On desktop, if you link to an mp4 file hosted somewhere, it embeds the video in the post, just as a picture would be embedded.
Example: https://lemmy.world/post/23008472
How does this post appear to you?
There is just a link.
Edit: I'm using Connect.
If you post the file to somewhere you can directly link to it (I.E. wvvw.notawebsite.com/file.mp4) it will show up as one. That said, I don't know of any hosts who allow sharing of Video content this way. Some clients also embed YouTube properly, and I wouldn't be suprised if PeerTube worked too, but I have yet to see anyone directly try and post PeerTube content.
