Videos are kind of rare on Lemmy, and they work quite badly for me at least.

Are there any figures (or is it even possible to know, with the decentralised approach) of ho many there are a day, viewing numbers etc ?

For a while I uploaded to catbox.moe, but found it annoying for various reasons, so I decided to roll my own.

Parallell to this I was tinkering with the theoretical foundation of a CDN, and I ended up combining the two projects into a hosting/distribution service which allows for easy hotlinking and embedding.

I'm not doing anonymous uploads, though. But once logged in (with a generous session time), the user will be presented with an upload box inspired by catbox as well as ability to rename, remove, etc, files that they've previously uploaded.

I've never been much interested in design, so I've mostly focused on getting it functional, and it's working fairly well once you look past the placeholder graphics.

Lemme know if you're interested in being a test user. While I do not consider it ready for the general public, it's come far enough to be both useful and reliable.

Sure, can try it out and try to give some meaningful returns.
