Hi! We’re new here, not gonna bore you with detail, let’s just say we’re a daddy/stepdau couple, but we would love to know how to post videos or gifs here on lemmy so they would show in a community feed. Any advice is welcomed! Thanks! 🦄👄

    The way I’ve been doing it is by uploading to redgifs.com and then putting that link into the “Link” field of a new Lemmy post. However, that is limited to only 1 minute long videos. I’ve seen people uploading to catbox.moe which has a 200MB limit, which should allow for much longer videos.

      I tried but the video itself does not show nor play, only link is visible. How do people do it they share actually moving films in their posts?

        They upload a compressed web-compatible format I believe. Webm is probably the best option.

        Edit: I just checked. Some people are uploading MP4. If you link directly to the file it should “just work” for most clients. I know direct MP4 videos play well with the voyager mobile client.
