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’d love that personally, i would like to be able to move my entire internet presence to more federated options and youtube is the biggest obstacle for me. i’ve been using it very regularly since 2007 so it would be difficult but i’d be willing to give it a go
