I'm trying to find where in the Fediverse I can get my fill of short form videos.

I really like going on Instagram and seeing short recipe videos, or little videos of people painting, or 30 seconds of a stand up routine, or someone giving me gardening tips, or someone sharing their thoughts on sometimes quite serious matters in a short form video.

I really don't like that Instagram is currently my best option for this.

Mastodon has some posts like this but you can't find them specifically. Lemmy presumably has some like this somewhere. I don't think PixelFed does videos currently. Vine is long dead.

What is my best option for this on the Fediverse so I can bin off one more social media app?

Maybe Peertube will match your needs ☺️

It is part of the Fediverse too.

Is there a way to filter to what youtube would call 'Shorts'?

[–] morethanevil@lmy.mymte.de 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You can filter a search for Videos <-4 minutes

At the moment there is no real "shorts"

Filter them out cause they are annoying and nobody wants them but tiktok users, No...

Pixelfed can support videos, but it has some restrictions which doesn't make it very accessible.
