YouTube does not feel appropriate since it is not my content.

I see a lot of people on here using Catbox to host videos, but I haven't tried it personally. You could also use Imgur which has worked well for me to post pictures. I know they support video uploads as well.

    Redgifs appears to be lewd NSFW content only. Do they allow other content?

    For sure. It's the best site for hosting. Why do you there's so much porn there?

    That reminds me of those folks who upload math classes to porn sites.

  • Is this a good use case for peertube? Spin up an instance or join an instance, and upload the video there?

    What about posting a description of the content and a link to the original?

    Some of the videos are on Reddit, Twitter, or Instagram. They don't work well when shared elsewhere.

    I want to download the video and reupload it in a better place

    I think Reddit works? Instagram and Twitter don't though. I liked the Twitter mirrors for that, since you could hot link their videos, but I think they all got shut down.

    Reddit video player is terrible though and linking to it requires you to load their bloated New Reddit web pages. Most of us came here to get away from Reddit.

    I thought if you liked the source in the post it embedded directly, rather than using reddit's player? I'd agree just a link to the Reddit post wouldn't be good.

    Reddit video links do not open up a raw video file but instead a web page that loads the video/audio file in chunks. If you want a regular video file you have to download it with yt-dlp or similar. I wouldn't be surprised if some apps include an embed solution, but most Lemmy websites and apps do not include embedding and simply link directly to the external page.

    Imgur should really rename itself as vidyer. Seems like it's mostly videos these days!

    I didn't know if .world or .dev allow it, but .works let you upload short videos directly I think, at least they used to.

    But hotlinking I think would be best. Firefox usually lets you copy the source link, but idk which formats and sites integrate well with Lemmy.
