I wanted to pick a name that's generic and not specific to any particular platform. For example, !microblogmemes@lemmy.world instead of !whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works

I don't see a community for that yet, aside from !loops@midwest.social, which is specific to Loops.

Some sources of the content could be:

  • Fediverse Loops
  • Tiktok
  • Instagram Reels
  • YouTube Shorts

The sidebar could include guides on how to link to the content in a more accessible way (ex. alternate front-ends or re-posting).

Well that won't show up as a video on Lemmy or will it?

Depends of the interface. Mp4 show up correctly on the Web UI

On desktop, if you link to an mp4 file hosted somewhere, it embeds the video in the post, just as a picture would be embedded.

Example: https://lemmy.world/post/23008472

How does this post appear to you?

There is just a link.

Edit: I'm using Connect.

If you post the file to somewhere you can directly link to it (I.E. wvvw.notawebsite.com/file.mp4) it will show up as one. That said, I don't know of any hosts who allow sharing of Video content this way. Some clients also embed YouTube properly, and I wouldn't be suprised if PeerTube worked too, but I have yet to see anyone directly try and post PeerTube content.
