Redgifs appears to be lewd NSFW content only. Do they allow other content?

For sure. It’s the best site for hosting. Why do you there’s so much porn there?

ByteOnBikes ,

That reminds me of those folks who upload math classes to porn sites.

Targeted towards post nut audience.

lennivelkant ,

To be fair, seeing a complex equation simplify down to a concise result is kinda hot 😳

GetOffMyLan ,

Because it’s a porn hosting site maybe

It is? Oh my.

FundMECFSResearch ,

A decent chunk of people might have it blacklisted to prevent porn popups though

I see a lot of people on here using Catbox to host videos, but I haven’t tried it personally. You could also use Imgur which has worked well for me to post pictures. I know they support video uploads as well.

I will try imgur first

Is this a good use case for peertube? Spin up an instance or join an instance, and upload the video there?

What about posting a description of the content and a link to the original?

Some of the videos are on Reddit, Twitter, or Instagram. They don’t work well when shared elsewhere.

I want to download the video and reupload it in a better place

JohnDClay ,

I think Reddit works? Instagram and Twitter don’t though. I liked the Twitter mirrors for that, since you could hot link their videos, but I think they all got shut down.

Rolando ,

Even if Reddit works at the moment, it might not soon, as they are enshittifying at a very rapid pace.

IronKrill ,

Reddit video player is terrible though and linking to it requires you to load their bloated New Reddit web pages. Most of us came here to get away from Reddit.

JohnDClay ,

I thought if you liked the source in the post it embedded directly, rather than using reddit’s player? I’d agree just a link to the Reddit post wouldn’t be good.

IronKrill ,

Reddit video links do not open up a raw video file but instead a web page that loads the video/audio file in chunks. If you want a regular video file you have to download it with yt-dlp or similar. I wouldn’t be surprised if some apps include an embed solution, but most Lemmy websites and apps do not include embedding and simply link directly to the external page.

FundMECFSResearch ,

You can get the url of the .mp4 file from reddit if you add .json to the url.

There are even web extensions that extract it for you

Then when you share that it autodisplays in lemmy

AndrewZabar ,

I often use Imgur.

Imgur should really rename itself as vidyer. Seems like it’s mostly videos these days!

AndrewZabar ,

I think they’re fine as it is lol.

elephantium ,
@elephantium@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not mad about it, I just think it’s funny that videos have taken over from images.

AndrewZabar ,

I still see a fairly balanced mix to be honest. I’m sure it fluctuates like anything else.

JohnDClay ,

I didn’t know if .world or .dev allow it, but .works let you upload short videos directly I think, at least they used to.

But hotlinking I think would be best. Firefox usually lets you copy the source link, but idk which formats and sites integrate well with Lemmy.
