Is there anywhere to host gifs and mp4s in the Fediverse? (vlemmy.net)

Lemmy doesn't seem to allow uploading them natively, and it's hard to create a Mustangs Crashing or Idiots in Cars channel without an easy way to attach video.

The best thing I can think of is probably Pixelfed or even a dedicated Masto profile or something, but neither is really ideal. I’d love to see a federated Imgur emerge- and I wouldn’t be fully surprised if one eventually does.

Thanks. I never tried Pixelfed, but from what I could get from their homepage, they don't support mp4.

I'm not on Mastodon, but have some friends who are. I'll ask them about it.

I can say they do support MP4! The server owner needs to have it enabled but I’d wager most do :)
