Why don't we use PeerTube to host the videos for Lemmy/kbin?
Would sound stupid as I don't indepth of PeerTube yet but I have heard that PeerTube is federated video sharing platform. I also heard it can't hold much a load which makes sense as HD videos takes lots of load. That begs me the question why don't we use it for small/short videos(not those vertical videos) to build communities like r/combinedgifs, r/whenthe or r/funnyvideos which are video driven communities?
Since we only need at max 2-3min of HD content per post to run these communities, I wouldn't assume it would be much of a load. With this we don't have to depend on third party embedding platforms like imgur(we know what happened over there recently).
Also someone make a community like the ones I've mentioned. I am missing video content here on fediverse!
This is my first post as well in fediverse :)

hmm, at least not me. Do you have a link?
What speaks for you against uploading your content there? When users start using platforms and others realize that they work well, they will follow their example. I think that's more effective than making a call to use a platform.
Gosh that's bad! They're going to break a lot of old forum posts and guides. More than ever we need to migrate out stuff to the fediverse.
They might be referring to imgur recently deleting and banning all nsfw content.
