YouTube does not feel appropriate since it is not my content.
I see a lot of people on here using Catbox to host videos, but I haven’t tried it personally. You could also use Imgur which has worked well for me to post pictures. I know they support video uploads as well.
I will try imgur first
Is this a good use case for peertube? Spin up an instance or join an instance, and upload the video there?
Catbox.moe
What about posting a description of the content and a link to the original?
Some of the videos are on Reddit, Twitter, or Instagram. They don’t work well when shared elsewhere.
I want to download the video and reupload it in a better place
You can get the url of the .mp4 file from reddit if you add .json to the url.
There are even web extensions that extract it for you
I think Reddit works? Instagram and Twitter don’t though. I liked the Twitter mirrors for that, since you could hot link their videos, but I think they all got shut down.
I often use Imgur.
Imgur should really rename itself as vidyer. Seems like it’s mostly videos these days!
I think they’re fine as it is lol.
I didn’t know if .world or .dev allow it, but .works let you upload short videos directly I think, at least they used to.
But hotlinking I think would be best. Firefox usually lets you copy the source link, but idk which formats and sites integrate well with Lemmy.

Redgifs appears to be lewd NSFW content only. Do they allow other content?

For sure. It’s the best site for hosting. Why do you there’s so much porn there?

A decent chunk of people might have it blacklisted to prevent porn popups though
