Comment on What is the easiest to post / upload video clips to ani.social?

I suggest uploading directly to ani.social but there’s an upload limit of 25MB. If your file is bigger than 25MB, then you will have to re-encode it so it’s smaller. Something like 8mb.video will make it easy.
Otherwise, you can use any external file host like catbox.moe. I prefer if people upload directly to ani.social instead so we don’t put too much load on others.

Oh cool, I thought this wasn’t an option because the upload failed.
This must be it. IMO it’d be good if this limit is mentioned somewhere or made more prominent - perhaps in the wiki or the sidebar?

Yeah Lemmy’s errors can be vague sometimes. I’ll just add it to the sidebar.

I can add it to the wiki. It’d be nice if lemmy surfaced these limits, even if it is just the error message.

If you use av1+opus/avif you can get the most out of the file limit.
