How to upload videos to Lemmy

While uploading videos to Lemmy is not supported yet, what is an easy alternative solution to share videos on Lemmy? I don’t want to use YouTube, it should be easy to use and work on Lemmy-UI (if possible).

I think the most spiritually correct solution would be to use PeerTube considering that it’s also a federated system and therefore can interact nicely with Lemmy.

How do the different federated software interact with each other?

Hello everyone....

polaris64, 1 year ago

Every user, post, community, etc. on each of these services is represented as an ActivityPub object. Let’s take the example of following your Lemmy user from Mastodon. I can search for @Gohos in Mastodon and in the background my Mastodon instance will issue the following WebFinger request to lemmy.ml: lemmy.ml/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:Goho…. This will return the following JSON: -

<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="color:#323232;">{
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#183691;">"subject"</span><span style="color:#323232;">: "acct:[email protected]",

</span><span style="color:#323232;">    {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#183691;">"rel"</span><span style="color:#323232;">: "http://webfinger.net/rel/profile-page",
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#183691;">"type"</span><span style="color:#323232;">: "text/html",
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#183691;">"href"</span><span style="color:#323232;">: "https://lemmy.ml/u/Gohos"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    },
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#183691;">"rel"</span><span style="color:#323232;">: "self",
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#183691;">"type"</span><span style="color:#323232;">: "application/activity+json",
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#183691;">"href"</span><span style="color:#323232;">: "https://lemmy.ml/u/Gohos",
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#183691;">"properties"</span><span style="color:#323232;">: {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#183691;">"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#type"</span><span style="color:#323232;">: "Person"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      }
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    }
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  ]
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>

From here I can request the application/activity+json URL at lemmy.ml/u/Gohos and if I request JSON I get: -

This includes two important properties: inbox and outbox. Using ActivityPub I now know I can send you a message by POSTing a request to your inbox and I can fetch posts, comments, etc. you’ve made via your outbox.

Your public key is also included. This is how, if you sent me a message, I can verify that the message actually came from you.

That’s a very brief overview but I hope that helps!

If you implement IP over smoke signals then perhaps :)
