A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Apollo had it's own parser for most content. If third party Lemmy apps also start bundling built in players for YouTube and other popular hosting services, you won't need Lemmy handling that.
I think video hosting would severely impact the storage needs for instance admins.
I hadn’t realized that video hosting on Reddit servers was a big thing. I have linked to videos I made on YouTube and I guess Reddit Enhancement Suite and Apollo made that look good.
So I suppose we need to wait and see how the clients evolve and if people start linking to more video content where appropriate, like in a community such as c/videos or c/unexpected.
It was a classic Reddit move.
Burn a brunch of money to implement a feature nobody asked for.
Make that feature worse than what you already have.
Burn more money maintaining that feature, as you now need to pay for more computing resources to support it.
Whine about not being profitable.
