for example if I found a good (and funny) video on youtube. where would be a good place to post it on lemmy?
Until you find a better place feel free to use !nowhereelsetoshare@sh.itjust.works
Don’t. These are text-based fora.
Personally, I find the fora and fona of these forums to contain all sorts of medias.
so all the porn pictures and cat pictures and food pictures also shouldn’t be posted? also the pictures and videos in the section of flying… and … also in photography… wait should i go on?
Go on if you want. Yes, those don’t belong here IMO. Pictures or video that are discussion-starters, maybe, in moderation. Put images-qua-images? No thanks.
Let’s go back to mail lists, the youth doesn’t know how tu use a pen anymore!!1!
If you prefer pure text wouldn’t you be better off with a news reader and the Usenet? I understand Lemmy to be a federated and open alternative to Reddit. So a community-driven, thread-based social media platform. I think with text-only media Lemmy would lose a majority of its users.
Why?
They eat up instance server resources and users’ mobile data.
How would a video hosted on youtube use up a lemmy instances resources?
