This is an opportunity for any users, server admins, or interested third parties to ask anything they’d like to @[email protected] and I about Lemmy. This includes its development and future, as well as wider issues relevant to the social media landscape today.
Not sure if you saw the news, but the BBC are experimenting with their own Mastadon instance. They can probably afford to host video.
I understand that many instances are run by volunteers and hobbyists. But that doesn’t mean that a business such as BBC couldn’t come and host their own instance.
And I don’t think I implied that you wanted to ban video. I just want to see video integrated natively into Lemmy so that instances can turn it on or off. A Youtube link is no good. I don’t like being rickrolled.
