Would sound stupid as I don’t indepth of PeerTube yet but I have heard that PeerTube is federated video sharing platform. I also heard it can’t hold much a load which makes sense as HD videos takes lots of load. That begs me the question why don’t we use it for small/short videos(not those vertical videos) to build communities like r/combinedgifs, r/whenthe or r/funnyvideos which are video driven communities?
Since we only need at max 2-3min of HD content per post to run these communities, I wouldn’t assume it would be much of a load. With this we don’t have to depend on third party embedding platforms like imgur(we know what happened over there recently).
Also someone make a community like the ones I’ve mentioned. I am missing video content here on fediverse!
This is my first post as well in fediverse :)
I have been using the freetube client for years to watch videos across multiple platforms. Maybe we could incorporate their method of having youtube be a first choice but allowing the user to pick other providers if they prefer?
