What is the best way to host/upload gifs/mp4s/videos for Lemmy posts?

My major struggle with Lemmy right now is that it is near impossible to post a video/gif/mp4 without having another account on a hosting provider. Reddit handled this very well, and I am concerned that if there isn't an easy solution on Lemmy, it won't work for many people as an alternative to Reddit.

For example, I made a few video/gif memes. I couldn't upload the mp4 or gif version to any of the 3 instances I joined. I went to imgur, but it requires a log in, and the link takes you to my profile. I tried giphy and another gif hosting site, but there is time/size limits.

Am I missing something? I know storage isn't free/unlimited on Lemmy, I totally get that the people hosting instnaces have server costs and shouldn't foot the bill...but something's got to give.

[Release][v0.1.25] Implementing user requests
  • WOW! Thanks...I know that it doesn't affect a huge population of users, so I really appreciate you even responding :)

    It is a really nice theming option for Pixels, I honestly pick my home screen apps based on whether they have the icon.

  • [Release][v0.1.25] Implementing user requests
  • I love the material you color scheming, how far out is the material you app icon? I want this app on my home screen but it doesn't match :)

    Loving the app so far...I have tried a lot and this feels like it has the most potential. Nice work!

  • [SOLVED] Outside a funeral home - seems a bit creepy. What is this?

    I used to work near this place, sometimes it had smoke coming from it. I imagine it cannot be used for biological things...right?

    Styles of hot dogs

    I found a poster of this in the bathroom of a hot dog shop. Thought it was cool so I searched for it. Not my OC, but a cool guide nonetheless.

    Alfa Romeo Giulia + Inkpunk Diffusion

    This one was fun to work on. Used Inkpunk Diffusion - no img2img or controlnet - straight prompt editing.

    Alfa Romeo Giulia

    I worked on this one for a family member who owns a blue Alfa Romeo Giulia. No post processing, I just used Inkpunk Diffusion model and kept running and tweaking prompts then upscaled my favorite..

    Werewolf print I did for a friend

    This was the first non functional/prototype prints after I got my Prusa. Pretty detailed for a .2mm print.

    (Discussion) Would you pay for Reddit Premium IF it allowed you to continue using your favorite app?

    I keep thinking this would have been a much better sell to devs and to users. I have always used Sync, and Boost. I tried the official app a few times, but really only used it for the chat feature. I didn't want to pay for it, but (I am embarrassed to admit it) I would pay premium to keep my app. I think this would have worked out better for Reddit than the garbage they are pulling right now.

    Would that have been a more reasonable solution in your opinion as well?

    for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken?
  • I have really been diving deep into a lot of niche hobbies and Redd** had such a great community for them. I have no problem starting over for the sake of justice, but it is going to take a long time to build them up.
