For embedding, what do you exactly mean? Do you mean embedding it in a post instead of leaving a link to the website? If so, can you please tell me how to do it. I am a relatively new user on lemmy, and I only see the “upload image” button for the body
or is it possible to actually do <video src=…> stuff>?
I’m not sure, for short clips you could upload the video file to lemmy (unless your instance blocks this) and then in the description place a link to an external url. This could be a simple way of resolving it, while simultaneously moving some bandwidth from your servers to the that of your (and other?) lemmy instances.
But that is not what i meant. For some urls or article the client ‘grabs’ the main image or video where as for others (including your website) it only shows the url in text. I am not technical and do not know how this works, but i don’t think the difference is how you create a post on lemmy but on how the page you link to is structured. I myself would ask ai, but i know a lot of people would not.
Got it, thank you. I will look into that, it will definitely make the videos more accessible, since not everyone might want to go on another website while just scrolling.
Thank you!
