I know this isn’t quite the proper forum for asking this, but I can’t think of any other place. Looking for a site where I can post little videos to share on Lemmy Meme Communities. A – Non-youtube-y place.

Bonus points if it plays nicely with Lemmy, opening on apps and such.

!peertube@lemmy.world is a good place in conjunction with Peertube. Makertube and peertube.wtf are good servers for video.

If you want to share videos I recommend !videos@lemmy.world or possibly !videos@sh.itjust.works. Both great communities to share videos, either ones uploaded to Lemmy (though probably not allowed or recommended by all servers) or on services like Peertube and YouTube.

I know you said a none-YouTube-ish place, but PeerTube videos play directly on Lemmy.

Videos without audio? Imgur can handle mp4s and imgur links autoplay in the Lemmy apps ive used (Boost and Voyager)

Videos with audio, well really YT is the best place, pretty much anybody who cares about YT tracking/ads/views will have processes/plugins in place to handle YT links. Like there are plugins that will automatically modify a YT link to a designated invidious instance or whatever

If you really really don’t want to upload to YT, a Peertube instance is your best bet, unfortunately just don’t expect it to be particularly…fast. Every Peertube video I’ve tried to watch buffered every 10-30 seconds, but I don’t blame them, video is very intense, expensive and difficult to handle compared to every other media type

Where and when did you experience issues with PeerTube videos? It really comes down to the PeerTube provider if their bandwidth can handle it.

Catbox (linked by the other commenter) seems to work for short little video snippets too.

But. Noted on the youtube thing.

Imgur can also handle videos with audio. The main restriction with them is that the MP4s have to be less than a minute.

I’ll embed one here, which may or may not work, depending on what you’re using (if it doesn’t embed, the post is here)

Surely that’s the link that should be posted, then?

You’d think, but from what I understand the Invidious/YT cat and mouse game is rather intense so the larger public instances often don’t work and it’s better to use smaller private or personal instances instead

So most who care have opted to just set something up to handle YT links on the fly
