Very nice improvement and I hope more fediverse software starts supporting this. tl;dr popular videos are also uploaded by the viewers, thus lowering the server load, similar to Bittorrent, but all in the browser.

I didn't realize PixelFed had videos at all?

It has and you can also do live-streams with it, although those probably don't work with WebP2P.
