The Fediverse might be getting their own mashups of Tiktok, YouTube, and Vine sooner than anyone thought, thanks to the work of one prolific dev spearheading an effort. The best part? He’s helping other projects in the space, too.

Okay but storing videos is very expensive. Even in its compressed form. Even images are being disabled in some instances in lemmy because of this. And videos are hundreds of images composed together. Who will run them?
It’s less expensive than you would think. Object Storage is actually really, really cheap in a lot of cases. I host a PeerTube instance, and while it does cost me money every month, the cost is decently offset by recurring donations, as well as the savings that Object Storage brings.
This. It’s getting it out of storage that’s expensive (if you’re doing the cloud thing - if doing colo, probably just then down to cost of drives after a short time).
Sorry yes, I forgot donations.
I wonder if some form of bit torrent client may be of use here.
Peertube uses it already, maybe this will too
Oh, I’ll have to check out peertube. Thanks for the information.
