I wanted to pick a name that’s generic and not specific to any particular platform. For example, [email protected] instead of [email protected]
I don’t see a community for that yet, aside from [email protected], which is specific to Loops.
Some sources of the content could be:
- Fediverse Loops
- Tiktok
- Instagram Reels
- YouTube Shorts
The sidebar could include guides on how to link to the content in a more accessible way (ex. alternate front-ends or re-posting).
Fedi Clip?

I was of the same opinion up until the reddit API ban. Then I had a period of not having what to do while on the toilet. Leaving alone at the time video sound was not a problem and I gravitated to yt shorts for some doom scrolling whilst pooping. Now I see the appeal and usefulness since so much time people spend on the phone instead of a TV or monitor. But as usual people abuse it, long vertical videos or landscape videos cropped or resized are terrible.
Subsidiary question, how do you share videos, is it possible on Lemmy now?
I can’t share images bigger than 2MB 😰
Post them to another host (realisticly, probably YouTube) and then post the link to that.
Well that won’t show up as a video on Lemmy or will it?
On desktop, if you link to an mp4 file hosted somewhere, it embeds the video in the post, just as a picture would be embedded.
Example: https://lemmy.world/post/23008472
How does this post appear to you?
There is just a link.
Edit: I’m using Connect.
