I'm making a community with a bunch of archived photos and videos I have of cats getting pulled along in shoeboxes in a train like formation - I'm calling it CatTrain.

Anyway typically I would host it on Reddit any they would come from v.reddit (after Imgur got all pissy) but I want to avoid using Reddits backend after they also decided to change direction.

What does everyone recommend?

Wouldn’t any peertube-instance be the most natural choice for videos? Pixelfed likewise for pictures.

Never heard of peertube, wait here, I'm going in

Hey @nutomic, so I ended up creating a pixelfed account after looking at what all if this is about and posting there... Since it does both videos and photos and also I got in immediately but still waiting for a peertube account to be approved.

Anyway so I direct linked the MP4 over on [email protected] and there is no preview or indication it's a video. Is there a better way to link them for user engagement? The images show up just fine
