Lemmy makes it pretty simple to upload pictures currently but what about videos? I found this issue posted in 2022 about integrating a video service but nothing really came from it. Does Lemmy have a road map to solve this issue? I feel like this will be an important part in Lemmy’s adoption
I don’t disagree with videos not being hosted on lemmy itself however I think there needs to be some more complete solutions.
For example one solution could be to build an API integration with the peertube platform and provide a method within the users profile to setup the API integration with their preferred peertube service. We want to avoid as much as possible people having to leave one platform to do a task on another platform to than come back to the original platform to post a link. This will discourage a lot of people from posting a lot their content due to it being not unified.
Does Lemmy have another location aside from their issues to post future feature requests? I couldn’t find a proper place to share some constructive feedback.
You’re definitely right that lemmy-ui should have support for embedding videos from platforms like PeerTube. For feature requests maybe check out [email protected]? Not sure if it’s actually the right place for that though.
Edit: I’m an idiot. I just realized which community this is lmao
:D
