I’m trying to build a sublemmy (BeWowed) based on r/Damnthat’s intresting and r/BeAmazed material that I have accumulated over the years but i need to host all the videos on imgur. Will lemmy be able to host videos? Do you have better alternatives than imgur? Thanks!
Posting an embed link shouldn’t be an issue. You don’t have to host the video directly to display it on a website.
<iframe width=“560” height=“315” src=“https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ” title=“YouTube video player” frameborder=“0” allow=“accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share” allowfullscreen></iframe>
Lemmy just need to accept embed in comments
At least in kbin, if you link a video on a site that allows embedding it includes a handy little button to show the embedded video automagically. Not sure how it’s handled in Lemmy though. :)
I thought OP refers to uploading videos here directly, obviously embedding should become available soon once someone submits the PR.
