    Don’t think we should post reddit links here. If it’s an image, gif or video, it should be rehosted then posted.

    Just my opinion.

    So think of the Lemmy you’re on as a computer in in your closet. If 10,000 people tried uploading video to it and even more tried streaming that video, you’d be pretty bummed by the space and bandwidth cost. Not sure if video streaming will ever be feasible by a non profit user hosting a Lemmy, kbin, or whatever instance. Probably best to stick with links to external platforms for now.
