I’ve tried to upload a video to a community and it errors out with a syntax error on line 1, is this an unimplemented feature or is it bugged?
It does not. You can upload animated images, but no video.
You’ll need to use a host, like youtube, streamable, or peertube.
In my short time on this platform I haven’t seen any embedded videos either, so I’m guessing it’s not implemented.
I’ve seen video posts where clicking on the expand button pops up a tiny embedded player. Here’s one example: https://lemmy.world/post/426522
It’s too tiny IMHO, but its there. Would be cool to see embeds in both posts and comments though.
Seems like the expand section has been removed on lemmy.ml. Not sure why.
I actually think that’s a bad idea, storing video is expensive and will quickly make hosting instances unsustainable. This kind of feature creep is what made Reddit an unprofitable black hole, and should be avoided.
i mean that’s a fantastic point, however community video content to me is extremely valuable and im struggling to fully switch to lemmy because of this
