I'm new to Lemmy, and this is my first time trying a video. If there's a better way to do it let me know.

You'd be better off using a site like tankie.tube to host the video and then post the link. Posting a video works but its not ideal.

Good to know. Is tankie.tube preferred over catbox.moe for any particular reason?

Both sites are optimized for streaming video, unlike Lemmy. It just comes down to user preference.

TankieTube is more niche, because it was created for leftists. It's also more social media oriented, because PeerTube is modeled after YouTube; you can create publicly browseable channels, and like, comment, subscribe, etc.

Practical differences

I didn't know it was made by somebody local that's cool!

The main difference seems to be TankieTube is more of a YouTube replacement and Catbox is more of a Streamable replacement for temporary/disposable videos.

Yeah, that's a succinct way to put it
